Johny Dar x Frederic Auerbach x Benny van Leeuwen, Cologne, Germany 2022
Undress Your Body, Dress Your Soul uncovers a journey of transformation and discovery.
A web series documentary that celebrates the power of art and creativity through meaningful, wearable art that breaks down the boundaries… physically revealing and empowering – participants claim to feel more in connected to themselves.
Participants do not get naked in a conventional or sexual way – they remove items of clothing and throughout the body art process claim by the end of the process to feel more relaxed, seen and empowered.
It’s as of each person develops a second skin on their physical body… a skin that introduces a etheric avatar…
The journey each day wound its way into an otherworldly avant-garde catwalk, for which painted participants bejewelled with glitter and diamonds rather than clothes, offering new perspectives on the potential of the human body, and the frontiers of fashion.
The looks are timeless, iconic, and follow no trend – each one an individual tribute and transformational activation – that contrast the short lived nature of the artwork itself. At the end of each day the paint is washed away…and all that remains is the photography, film and unforgettably memories that have been made…
This original experience, brought to you by Johny Dar, is fulled by the spirit of a super-team dedicated to creating timeless works for the sake of expression and exploration.
