Fashioned by Slavery (Oslo #5)
2012
Matias Faldbakken's "Fashioned by Slavery (Oslo #5)" is a conceptual work that interrogates the historical and ongoing connections between luxury fashion production and exploitative labor practices. The piece combines visual and textual elements to implicate the fashion industry's complicity in systems of economic inequality that have roots in colonial and slavery-based economies. Through this work, Faldbakken challenges viewers to reckon with the ethical costs obscured by consumer culture and high-end design.
