My ripping girl animation

The biggest collection of Paper dresses opens today in a show called RRRIPP!!! at the Benaki museum in Athens. The collection includes works by Andy Warhol, Helmut Lang, Hussein Chalayan, John Galliano. Apart from the original 60's collection, the curator Vassilis Zidianakis and director of the non-profit Atopos has asked new fashion designers and artists to create something of their own inspired by the dresses in the collection. New creations include fashion designers Rick Owens , Sophia Kokosalaki, Bas Kosters, Angelos Bratis and artists Bob Wilson, Irini Miga , Jannis Varelas etc. I participate in this show with an animation called Ripping Girl (see photo above). Unfortunately I miss the opening tonight. More info here
