A is for Akarova

By  Lucienne Cole 2022
Paper Costume made during a residency at Villa Empain, Brussels. Akarova was a Belgian avant-garde dancer. During my research on Akarova I discovered proof that she once danced at the Villa. Akarova made most of her own costumes. I derived this paper costume and posed in the garden of the Villa.
