Manifesta 11 Cabaret der Künstler - Zunfthaus Voltaire

Some of the worst employment-crimes happen in clothing factories in the Asiatic countries, which produce clothes for big warehouse at low cost, thanks to workers exploitation. Nowadays clothes are selling at giveaway prices and this encourages and promotes the impulse buying of needless clothing. We buy an obscene amount of clothes and there are some serious implications of consuming clothes in ever-increasing volumes: Forty percent of the clothes we buy are never worn and directly discarded. Our clothes continue to impact the environment after purchase. The clothing industry is the second largest polluter in the world, second only to oil. Instead of throwing away my old knitwear, I have unraveled sweaters and cardigans and with its wool I have made a 639 meter long cord with the knitting mushroom. Garments that normally decorate our bodies and serve to highlight our own individuality, in this case constitute a moment of anti-productivity
