Carol Christian Poell - Designer

"every continued quantity is divisible in infinitum. the motion of the eye, looking at the hand, and descending from A to B, being a continued quantity, may of consequence be divided into an infinity of parts: now the hand always changing its figure and aspect, as its situation alters with regard to the eye, it will be seen under as many different aspects, as there are distinct parts in the motion; that is, the aspects of the hand are varied to infinity. and the result would be the same, if the eye, instead of being lowered from A to B, should be raised from B to A; or if the eye were fixed, and the hand had its motion."

- leonardo da vinci

the motion is described as an infinitely divisible and variable process. he says the aspects every human action offers us are infinitely different, as if deformation was optically, physically, legitimated.
"fixed-explosive" - andre breton's prophecy about beauty corresponds to the high-speed or super-slow camera view, or childlike (and in a way rather erotic) overzealous desire to escape from normal dimensions, deviate from normal speed. to fluidize objects through anamorphosis and arrest.
the form becomes a victim of the space and the viewer, and with ccp, the wearer becomes a victim of the form.

"object dyed leather hands" (not gloves any more here at last)

the ultimate transposition...
if those are now called hands...
what do we call the wearer... the victim?

:wink:...:innocent:

can they actually be worn with any success...?
are they rigid?
do they have some flexibility?
or are they more like sculptures?
 
^ yes, a subject, an experimental one or prosthetic ?

or the wearer may be the ruin of a body if ccp is here the maker of a "body without organs".
in a way, fetishism could be organic dreams to return to the inorganic.

I'd say the hand can be worn relatively easily although this statement is from the only one experience where I tried on the sample. at least the leather is not rigid if it is horse or kangaroo.
ccp might seem to be stony sometimes, but it had padding added to the metal tiny knuckles. and the metal is titanium. so it is rather light while very strong/dent-resistant. also it's sort of soft to the feel, to the touch, if you know what I mean: it feels like a mediator between plastic and metal.
btw, it is zippered on the other side. since it's called hands especially, the metal teeth are applied to the skin along your artery for some cronenberg effect as though they are growing from the hand.

Can anybody recall seeing other designers doing their own version of that coat that folds upwards onto itself from post 152? I think I saw Lanvin & Burberry show something similar in their shows, but I can't find pics anywhere.

how are these white only on one side? are they painted?
:unsure:...

very cool closure...
does it lay flat once its on or what?

thx again!

:flower::flower::flower:
 
^ it is the weave, as if it is speaking of the secret blackness cited in post 156.
not just hopelessly white but sort of "phosphorescent from all its encounters with darkness"

it doesn't totally lay flat.
 
ccp catalogue categorizes the leather item as an accessory, a bag.

Thank you very much for the pics! I specially like all the imperfections both in the coat and the vest/backpack. Feels like a mixture between brutalism and punk...very rebel indeed!
