She creates Performances with Wearable Sculptures and Art Theater. Besides she realizes exhibitions with theatrical installations, videos and photos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith her performances she makes clear statements. Since the eighties she breaks through the well-defined gender role patterns of men and women and gives her feminist vision on women’s sexuality. For example, she designs clothing and wearable sculptures in which women emerge powerful, take the initiative and in which men emphasize their vulnerability. Each piece of clothing tells its own story, which asks to be brought out….\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEllen Schippers has been presenting her performances on stages in the Netherlands and abroad since 1981. She involves theatrical elements such as movement theater, music, light and later also poetry. The collaboration with dancers, actors and mime performers in combination with the wearable sculptures create a special synergy. The mysterious atmosphere and the poetic images appeal to the associative ability of the viewer.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany full-page and full-colour pictures of models performing and modeling Schippers’ extravagant latex creations which blur the lines between clothing and sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard cover, 28,5 x 21,5 cm, 114 not numbered pages, Amsterdam 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9789090374857\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schippers, Ellen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52057197183316,"sku":"","price":150.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/8656\/1083\/files\/Schippers7FacesOfWomenArtFashion.jpg?v=1749745922"},{"product_id":"7-faces-of-women-wearable-sculptures","title":"7 Faces Of Women: Wearable Sculptures","description":"\u003cp\u003e“In my wearable sculptures I increase the symbolic meaning of clothing. By enlarging and demolishing ideal images, I look for the emotion that lies behind these (self) images. The sculptures often undergo a transformation. Something happens to the sculptures, they change shape, are torn off, air is blown in. For example, I designed wearable sculptures with inflatable breasts and buttocks to denounce the makeable body. A ‘ballroom dress’ that turns out to be a prison and another one in which all the ‘beauty ideals’ such as long hair, red lips and large breasts and buttocks are torn off one by one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy sources of inspiration are Federico Fellini, Pina Bausch, Fong Leng, Oscar Schlemmer (Bauhaus).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book consists of different photoshoots that were taken from my performances with wearable sculptures between 1981 and 2008.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany full-page and full-colour photographs documenting performances of models wearing the creations of Schippers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard cover, 28,5 x 21,5 cm, 114 not numbered pages, Amsterdam 2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9789090336510\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schippers, Ellen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52057414402388,"sku":"","price":150.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/8656\/1083\/files\/Schippers7FacesOfWomenWearableSculptures.jpg?v=1749746748"}],"url":"https:\/\/boekiewoekie.com\/collections\/schippers-ellen.oembed","provider":"Boekie Woekie, books by artists","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
