The German  designer  and performance artist Helena Dietrich lays out the significance of the symbolism that is embedded in our style of clothing (and by extension our identity). She confronts us with the dynamic of our choices, questioning if they could be rooted in a collective sub-conscious and in what way cultural parameters direct our imagination.

The audience turns into a personage, miming their own lifestyles, swimming or drowning in a pool of references and memories where the border between the self and the copy is blurring.

The video that will arise out of the performance will be screened in december as part of the festival working title Platform #8.

Helena Dietrich is working and living in Brussels. After her Master in European Media (on self-representation in the postfordism) at the University of Portsmouth, she started studying at a.pass in Brussels, a postgraduate programme for performance arts and scenography. Becoming Lili is the extended result of her research project at a.pass.
