Arte Sartorial. De lo ritual a lo cotidiano
Abstract
Much has been said about dress origins: it has served to distinguish roles within a group or a community and it has been used as a protection for exposure or nudity.
However, we must not forget its importance in terms of spiritual protection. The suit was
also a communication channel with other realities, other scopes and dimensions, able to
transform and transport its user. It has been a refuge, shield and fetish, second skin, habitat.
As in the sacred space of shamanic religions, or in the performing arts, clothing and mask
play an important role in which the object is no longer a garment to become an element
that harmonizes with the body and transmutes materiality in another entity that acquires
the attributes represented by the suit. This article approaches the parallels between art and
fashion and discusses some works of artists which from the genre of performance, embody
change phenomenon with simultaneously poetic and magical relationships.
