The project is conceived as a dialogical process and connects two weavers in very different contexts, a Berlin textile design student and a fashion designer from Sri Lanka. Over a period of five working days, both perform a simultaneous production process during which they are in a constant virtual exchange.
The result is two coded fabrics, each of which can be read as a diary. Different colours represent different times of day and visualise the particular rhythms of work. But the materials and colours also show subtle differences in which the different origins of the woven diagrams become perceptible. The course of the project is documented on film by both sides.
This performative concept brings into view working processes and circumstances that otherwise remain invisible, as well as the people behind each anonymous object from the global production chains.
