“I Hang my Clothes”
A collaborative piece developed by Beatrice Magalotti and Begitte Andersen
The inception of the project was lyrics and music by Beatrice’s sister, Margaret Magalotti.
The installation incorporates 42 fabric banners throughout the space, screen printed, hand and machine embroidered with lyrics from the song. Large hand embroidered cushions are available for members of the public to sit on. Members of the public can download the music and lyrics from a QR-Code at the gallery.
The installation is a circle or spiral of banners slowly letting people into a universe of emotions. They can visualize, hear the song and be enveloped by a rich fragrant smell so that the viewer meets an intense atmosphere that reflects the core of the song and the way we see, smell and interpret the song. We hope to leave the audience with a sense of well-being.
