Die Nachfrage nach günstiger Mode führt nicht nur zu schlechten Arbeitsbedingungen, sondern auch zu massiven Umweltschäden, da billige Materialien und Produktionsmethoden oft auf Kosten der Umwelt gehen.Kunst kann hierbei eine wichtige Rolle spielen, indem sie auf diese Missstände aufmerksam macht und die Betrachter dazu anregt, über ihre eigenen Konsumgewohnheiten nachzudenken.In meiner Kunstserie thematisiere ich die Probleme der Fast Fashion und deren Auswirkungen auf die Ozeane. Durch den Einsatz von KI schaffte ich visuelle Werke, die sowohl die Ästhetik als auch die Dringlichkeit des Themas vermitteln. Die Arbeiten zeigen die Verschmutzung der Meere durch textile Abfälle und heben die Verbindung zwischen Konsumverhalten und Umweltschäden hervor. Mit kreativen Techniken und innovativen Ansätzen rege ich die Betrachter dazu an, über die Konsequenzen von Fast Fashion nachzudenken und sich für nachhaltige Alternativen einzusetzen. Nachhaltigkeit in Mode, Industrie und Kunst spielt eine zentrale Rolle in der heutigen Gesellschaft, da sie wichtige Ansätze zur Reduzierung von Umweltbelastungen und zur Förderung sozialer Verantwortung. Die Modeindustrie ist einer der größten Verursacher von Umweltverschmutzung. Eva-Maria Horstick 2023_ mehr Werke gern auf Anfrage. Serie 2022-2023

For seven months, I shared my home with eleven mannequins, their silent, yet ever-present forms becoming part of my everyday life. As an artist, I sought to integrate these figures into my creative process, not just as objects, but as participants in my journey. Each mannequin, though lifeless in the traditional sense, became imbued with a peculiar energy. In their stillness, they exuded a silent presence—an invisible pulse that seemed to interact with the space around them.I had always been drawn to the feminine form in art, but living with these mannequins allowed me to explore this energy in a completely new way. Surrounded by their sculpted bodies, I began to feel as though I was living among something more than just inanimate objects. They seemed to carry an aura of femininity—powerful and yet passive. In the quiet of my home, where they were neither human nor entirely artificial, they took on a life of their own.It was as if the house itself became a sanctuary for this concentrated feminine energy. Though they did not move, speak, or live in the traditional sense, these mannequins almost felt like witnesses to my life, observing my every action with silent, non-judgmental presence. I often found myself contemplating the dichotomy between life and stillness, questioning what it means for something to be "alive" and whether the energy of the body can transcend physical movement.Over time, the mannequins began to represent more than just female figures—they embodied the very concept of womanhood in its complexity, with all its layers of strength, vulnerability, and silence. Their silent presence invited me to explore aspects of femininity that I might not have considered otherwise. They forced me to confront my own perceptions of gender and identity, as well as the role of the female figure in art and society.Through these mannequins, I found a way to connect with a deeper, more intuitive part of my own creative process. Their stillness allowed me the space to reflect, to create, and to question. In this quiet companionship, I realized that the energy we associate with life is not always bound by the physical or the living. Sometimes, it exists in the stillness, in the inanimate, in the things we choose to bring into our lives—things that, in their own way, breathe life into us.Text eva-Maria Horstick copyright Project Babaismus Arteve.de
