AN IMMERSIVE ART BOOK DOCUMENTING A TEMPORARY INSTALLATION IN AUSTIN, TEXAS
This publication is a first edition, produced in a limited run of 50 copies.
The book documents a one night installation that explored memory as a physical, shared experience. Conceived as an act of remembering through the body, the project was built through collaboration, exchange, and collective presence. Rather than functioning as documentation alone, the book holds the atmosphere of the event itself, existing between what was felt and what remains.
The installation took place in Austin in the fall of 2025, bringing together couture fashion, photographic works, and live film environments within a single spatial framework. Disciplines were allowed to overlap, moving between stillness and motion, image and presence. The work reflected on the studio’s history without fixing it in place, allowing earlier ideas to re-emerge in altered forms.
Fashion operated as something active rather than displayed. Garments by Flamer and Angels Need Angels moved through the space alongside sound, projection, and performance. The presentation rejected the traditional runway format in favor of circulation and proximity, allowing clothing to become part of the environment and the rhythm of the night.
Captured as it unfolded, the photographs remain close to gesture, atmosphere, and interaction. Rather than summarizing the installation, the images preserve fragments of it, holding its physical and temporal qualities intact.
