Sports and Fetishgear

Elisabeth Käzel, a textile designer, asked me to shoot her diploma collection. I remember running through Antwerp in the summer, scouting locations together with her at the last minute. My partner (who was also the model) and I had gotten into a huge fight the night before the shoot, so we all had a rough time shooting this. Elisabeth's textiles reminded me of fetish elements—lots of rubber and bleached materials—so I decided to mix them with sports gear and more fetish wear. Her professors didn't like it, saying it was "kind of out there." But later, one photo got printed in Edelkoort's NY Talking Textiles Fruits of the Loom.
