Soundsuits by artist Nick Cave are seen at Carriageworks 2016 in Sydney, Australia
Artist and performer Nick Cave created numerous costumes he calls Soundsuits using a variety of materials, sometimes including found items. They’re interesting enough as visual art, but when worn by dancers, sometimes including Cave himself, the exaggerated aspects of the costume are even more noticeable, as the shapes and materials of the Soundsuits affect the way the dancer moves. And, true to the name, the suits make sounds as they move, usually through the noise of the materials brushing up against each other.
