Over het evenement
EN: The installation ‘Metamorphosis in Motion’ traces the evolution of identity through three forms: created by OKLA (fashion), reinterpreted by others (photography), and reimagined by AI (video). OKLA explores drag as a living process — blurring gender, art, and technology — to challenge fixed truths and celebrate transformation, visibility, and self-expression.More than a fusion of fashion, photography, and video, this installation reflects on identity as a fluid, evolving process. Inspired in part by the Taoist parable of Zhuangzi — the man who dreamt he was a butterfly, and questioned which reality was true — it invites viewers to ask: Where does the self end and the performance begin? What is real, and what is a dream retold? What makes us ‘us’?
