Soundsuits by artist Nick Cave
Artist and performer Nick Cave creates the wearable fabric sculptures he calls Soundsuits using a variety of materials, including found items. They’re interesting enough as visual art, but when worn by dancers, including Cave himself, the exaggerated aspects of the costumes are even more noticeable, as the shapes and materials of the Soundsuits affect the way the dancers move. And, true to the name, the suits make sounds when worn, usually when the materials rub together.
