Soft skin, delicate furrows tell life, what remains? Fashion as self-chosen masking, anchor, a self-phrased narrative, through cut and fabric, through glasses and beads, the loving look of a granddaughter to her Oma Gerti, mysterious in everything, the complexity of life, a window opens, light shines on body parts, in eyes, modesty remains, transience and memories will both remain
Alexandra Bondi de Antoni, born in Austria (Vienna), lives in Berlin. She works as a writer and director for a wide range of publications, including i-D Germany, Zeitmagazin and VOGUE—words and images, narrative in different ways, describe her work. Over a period of 13 years, she captured her grandmother, Oma Gerti, in photographs that showcase the intersection of pop culture, socio-political perspectives, and fashion. Through these images, she portrays her grandmother wearing fabric as both a facade and a reflection of her inner life.
