The installation Fashionshow: Working Class Daughters consists of a specially designed T-shirt collection and draws on images of Eastern European markets and informal trade. Subtly, it references on current phenomenon in which so-called workwear, or clothing typically associated with labor, has made its way into high-fashion contexts. The sound piece consists of interviews around class issues and working conditions.

The installation takes place at the edges of institutional spaces and casts a gaze on their (in)formal entrances and exits.

Fashionshow: Working Class Daughters was presented in 2022 at Berlinische Galerie as part of the exhibition Klassenfragen and in 2021 at the Performing Arts Festival Berlin on the Introducing… platform, as well as at Sophiensaele Berlin and at Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof Hamburg.
