The apron is first created as a carrier for all the tools I need to carry with me. Yet, it's also a custume, and a "scene establisher".
When I'm wearing the apron, my role is established and signals the session has officially begun.
In a way, the apron highlighted my presence, the maker's presence, even more.
To think of if these individual exchanges are also as buttons, small moments, and particles, me wearing this apron, conducting this project, physically traveling to people, through space and time is the thread connecting everything.
It reminds me of PAO's work, People's Canopy and the tent for Taiwanese Roadside Banquets.
Both are portable tents that, when put down somewhere, host a gathering, event, setting the scene.
It's the establishment, signal, making a temporary "zone".
Yet, it's not made to stand forever, it's always portable, only tying to the duration of an event.
