BUTTONHOLES (2000-)


I asked people to lend me their 'shirts' that they have been wearing in their everyday life.

I made additional buttonholes on them. The buttonholes I made are put on the other side: in case the shirt has buttonholes on the left side, I made the buttonholes on the right side and vice versa. So logically, the place is the side in between the buttons, on the front side.

I asked and promised the people who lent me their shirts, 'Let me put my works on your shirts. I will not destroy them, I will treat them carefully and the shirt will be given back to you after the exhibition.

After they received the works, they could wear it as usual and it would not bother them or the appearance of the shirt.

Only they will see the buttonholes at the moment when they put the shirt on or take it off.
Only at that moment, my works would appear and intervene in people's days.
