Anna-Nicole Ziesche
0:00:41
Anna-Nicole Ziesche (Hamburg 1972) studied fashion design at the Central Saints Martins College of Art and Design in London, England. She made jumpsuits with patterns that were inspired on the sweaters that she knitted when she was a child. In 2000, Ziesche started to work with film and performance. In her films and performances, specially designed pieces of clothing hinder the movements of the one who is wearing them - physically as well as psychologically. The piece in the film for The Art of Fashion exhibition is made out of two identical sweaters that are connected at the waist.

Memory
0:02:23
In psychology, memory is an organism’s mental ability to store, retain and recall information. Traditional studies of memory began in the fields of philosophy, including techniques of artificially enhancing the memory. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century memory became part of the paradigms of cognitive psychology. In recent decades, it has become one of the principal pillars of a branch of science called cognitive neuroscience, an interdisciplinary link between cognitive psychology and neuroscience.

Since 2008, Anna-Nicole Ziesche is course leader of the MA Fashion Design and Enterprise at the School of Media, Arts and Design at the University of Westminster. This is a one year full-time MA course bringing together fashion design, contemporary visual media and enterprise. The programme has been developed in response to demands from the fashion industry for designers who are able to work with film, photography, video and interactive media. It also recognizes that designers now need to be equipped with all of these skills in order to promote and create new visual contexts for their work.

Individual learning, as opposed to mass education, is important in our economy, especially in branches and organisations that almost completely rely on knowledge. In 2006 Albert Geert Renkema published a dissertation on the subject entitled: Individual learning accounts: a strategy for lifelong learning?

Her designs are not presented on the catwalk, nor are they sold in shops. Her designs are not fashionable; they don’t look like couture and definitely aren‘t ’prêt-à-porter’. On the contrary, jumpsuits like hers mostly resemble your grandfather’s pyjamas. Truely timeless. But Anna-Nicole Ziesche isn’t interested in the outside of fashion. She is a researcher and she investigates what a piece of clothing does or might do with the person who’s wearing it. How it hinders certain movements of the body and provokes others; how it can cover and protect you, how it can become a barrier or – on the other hand – can make you vulnerable. How clothes can shape or deform a person mentally. In the film at The Art of Fashion, Anna-Nicole Ziesche goes back to her childhood and questions the way childhood memories are shaped and stored.

This video is part of the The Art of Fashion exhibition, on view until January 10th 2010 at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.
