''I KNOW EVERYTHING'' —A moody, religious-laden editorial from Tokyo.
GATA presents “I Know Everything”—a moody, religious-laden editorial from Tokyo.
Touching upon post-modernist themes put forward by writers such as Jean Baudrillard, with his book “Simulacra and Simulation, the series of images explores the notion that we live in a world of symbols, detached from the reality of things in of themselves.
Created by a team of Tokyo creatives, the images display potential Christian/Islamic iconography, and patriotic colours questioning our conceptions of what collective identity is, and our relationships to these symbols.
When asked to expound upon their ideas the team said, “There is nothing perfect. Every image is the symbol of something that is theoretically perfect. Nothing is ideal or real. Only symbols exist.
When manifesting a symbol and wishing to share it with someone, you need a loop to bind each line together. This circle is sometimes an apple, sometimes a car. The world is complicated. One move has a hundred effects. Yet we cannot stop moving. Hope the apple in your right hand is full of love.”
Stay locked in with GATA for the latest cutting-edge fashion and creativity to be coming out of Tokyo.
