Test Shoot

Test Shoot

Nao Bustamante's Test Shoot, for the bullet-proof dress she produced "Tierra y Libertad - Kevlar 2945" inspired by a picture of armed women soldiers, opens with a provocative question: How would a woman fighting in the Mexican Revolution stand up to the weaponry of 1910, if she were clad in an Edwardian combat dress made of bullet resistant Kevlar®? Said dress. yellow with flower ornament, is hung outside in the snowy land and shot from distance. First bullet, second bullet, third bullet. What seems like a reimagination of fight unveils as an investigation on how to protect vulnerable bodies without enacting more harm. - Innas Tsuroiya
