“For the Love of God” is the collection created by Lorenzo Busato within a school project based on the study of ethnicity as opposed to a theme of breaking. The research began with the analysis of the clothing of an ancient people, the Ainu, who settled in the Japanese archipelago between the XII and the XI BC. Dresses volumes and geometric sculptures are made in parallel to the study and research of Damien Hirst’s art works.

“The collection was made following a search of my own alternative materials” says Lorenzo ” which I pass on the conceptual idea I had for creating the head. Shapes and volumes, and in particular the location of the photo sets, recall the works and concepts of Hirst. I used the garden pvc tablecloths, a polka-dot printed out the grounds, while other fabrics I have recreated the graphics in vector drawing and then printing at home on canvas with the film transfers the Zebra and Virgin Mother. Yet the masks are handmade, cardboard, through a series of folds have developed a texture of origami.”
