- Biography
Since early 2010 Atladóttir & d’Ors work together on The First Collection, a multidisciplinary project positioned within the boundaries of art and avantgarde fashion. Framed as a thematic collection Atladóttir d’Ors make costumes, photos, videos and installations using a colorful, crafted aesthetic to create scenographies inspired by news, popular culture and scientific imagery.
The collection reflects the fascination of the artists for traditional clothing, modern technology versus primitive natural forces, contemporary social dilemmas and unbalanced situations. They show this in a visual dialogue of diversity, change, emancipation and female identity within the context of globalization.
The parallel project The Independent Republic of Bellona is a visual research of a utopian country: the Republic of Bellona. Bellona is an anthropological study through traditional clothing, history and customs of a pre-technological/post-industrial society in a fictional land inhabited and run by women. With the Republic of Bellona Atladóttir & d’Ors research terms as tradition, emancipation and independence.
