Alessia Parenti
I "non"
vestiti della "non" donna di Alessia Parenti
Dopo una formazione ed esperienze lavorative in vari campi dall'arte all'architettura
alla moda, Alessia Parenti alias Stella Cirquelar, come ama anche presentarsi
per sottolineare le due personalità legate sia alla pittura che alla
moda, realizza una serie di abiti che racchiudono il suo desiderio di alleggerire
i confini dei diversi campi creativi e il tentativo di una loro comunicazione.
Ogni abito, che ha solo un lontano rimando a forme riconoscibili del vestire,
è realizzato interamente a mano a partire da una forma circolare che
viene elaborata fino ad ottenere l'oggetto finito. Ogni pezzo è diverso
dagli altri.
L'invito è a giocare in maniera personale e creativa con queste forme.
In pratica, indossandoli, ognuno può reinventare sul proprio corpo
le creazioni di Alessia Parenti/Stella Cirquelar. Gli abiti diventano un luogo
intermedio dove sogno e realtà sono presenti contemporaneamente in
un dialogo di costante affermazione e negazione reciproci, un luogo viaggiante
che si re-inventa ogni istante e che pertanto non può assumere caratteri
stanziali come, ad esempio, l'aspetto seriale
Alessia Parenti/Stella Cirquelar è nata
a Roma il 23 febbraio 1968, vive e lavora a Roma.
