SYNOPSIS

I was born. I was born. It was not my choice to come into this world. But it was. I was passive. As I grow, I am deprived of all the things that make me beautiful, my hard edges, my imperfections, my grimaces. I am forcefully dispossessed. They belong to me. They belong to me. I have become poor. I have nothing. Through the fashion dance short ‘prettyUGLY’, film director and movement artist Red-Cor invites the viewer in an active process of co-creation, of looking at oneself bare. Fashion designer Kirsten Gair brings forward a collection of garments printed with microscopic images of her own body’s imperfections.
