XOOOOX













XOOOOX  works with delicate stenciled works and installations in an arte povera style that consist of weathered and decaying materials. In these works XOOOOX distinctly contrasts the glamour of fashion culture with existentialist themes such as vulnerability and transience. Using transitory media such as exposed building facades, worm-eaten wood, rotting fabric and rusty metal, XOOOOX grounds this apparently glamorous theme in the street, but the artist’s aim is not to deconstruct fashion culture.XOOOOX pays homage to traditional haute couture while levelling criticism at the over-industrialization of fashion as a cultural artifact of our time.
