A book discussion was taken place on 12 August from 5.00-6.30 pm at SEAJunction (4th Floor, Bangkok Art and Culture Center), in conjunction with the mini exhibition “In Nature We Trust: World Within Wardrobe” featuring present a select collection of artworks by Intan Anggita Pratiwie, a talented artist from Indonesia.

Intan’s book, “World Within Wardrobe,” dissects the meanings and concepts behind each word. “World” is about the beginning of how humans are introduced to clothes and how fashion exists. “Within” is the discussion regarding the meaning of a piece of clothing, while “Wardrobe” regards the attachment to all kinds of items inside, and about how can we find solutions to extend the lifespan of different clothes. In other words, the discussion is built through ontology, epistemology, and axiology, spread into three different parts.
