You see the story of a dinner party
turning the installation into a colourful piece of work.
The project MANNER seeks to tell a story about
how traces are made from the movements of our hands.
Each time to a different audience and in a different context.
In 2021, it was presented as a fashion show.
In 2022, it became a happening in the window
of Nørgaard på Strøget, central Copenhagen.
In 2023, it was part of the opening event
for the exhibition Beautiful Repair at Copenhagen Contemporary.

MANNER is a performance where six people have dinner while
wearing six shirts sewn into a tablecloth.
Food is served, and the table is set for what appears to be a classical dinner.
As the performers consume the carefully curated courses,
the setting changes with spills stain the installation,
turning the tablecloth into a living record of the dinner and the performers’ movements.

During the performance,
models serve the table while wearing the MANNER collection
and interacting with the ever-changing installation,
creating a continuous balance between the collection worn on the body
and the table explored through the performance.
