Today, tactility is omnipresent: mobiles, computers, screen publicity…however, human tactility is proving to be more and more of a challenge; fear of another, unwanted attention are to name but a few examples of what is causing this perplexity. Through her performance KRIWO aims to join people together, through the use of recyclable or no recyclable materials (flexibil)

Spectators of the *ITE Performance* are invited to create a variety of unique pieces of clothing, by means of sticking an assortment of materials, made available by the artist KRIWO on the «adhesive couture templates» sported by her models.

KRIWO’s intentions are to examine the individual’s inspiration and creativity. Sensations and intuition toward beauty are individual and thus subjective.This performance offers transcendance: through a collective and entertaining creation.


The performances featured in the event are all unique and interactive. The venue, stage-design, participants, models, musicians, adhesive templates and of course the replaceable materials.

*ITE* (Interactive+tactil+ephemeral) by KRIWO
An invitation to come spend altogether an unforgettable moment…


How does it work?
A space.
A variety of materials are set up around the venue.
Several models, dressed in «adhesive couture templates» white + transparent…work their way through the spectators, followed by a musician or accompanied by a dj.
The spectators manoeuvre around the venue and in doing so contribute to the performance as actors/creators…
These «new performers» engaged by KRIWO, are given the materials and taught how to use them before sticking them by means of double-sided adhesive tape, placing them on the adhesive couture worn by the models.
Due to individual intuition, intervention, and personal contributions, the garments , previously unseen are unveiled through different forms, volumes, textures, patterns, colours… The musician(s) participate to the creative and collective performance, in inspiring the participants.
Once the garments are accomplished, a final stage performance allows all the performers to view their creations. Euphoria is born from accomplishment.
