DEMONSTRATING FASHION
– creating objects that are wearable and have the presentation aspect in themselves
– creating combination accessories (e.g. umbrella + scarf)
– research on hypothesis that came up on the first evening by some of the bulgarians:
why do bulgarians not think about fashion?

HIDING BODY PARTS

presenting something you don’t like in a better way
– visit suggestion: “i came here alone” kneipe, food & drink all day in a macho manner:
only men can order

MALKO MAGAZINCHE

the supplies in a home improvement store

16:50 – group 1 works in aleks’ amazingly crowded, yet inspiring bedroom. the group seems
quite tired, yet satisfied and they all lounge on aleks’ bed. The product is quite finished.
bless: “are you satisfied?”
group: “yes!”
bless: “are you allowed to destroy pieces that you found at the hardware store?”
group member 1: “no, we aren’t.”
group member 2: “yes of course we did, but the only piece you need is a kitchen knife
and we used a dolce & gabbana perfume flacon as a hammer.”
bless: “did you find these at the hardware store, too?”
group member 2: “no, but you would find a normal hammer there that would do the
same job ...”
