The fashionably sculpted filigree oversized ensemble Sindarella is standing right in front of us - created by women – an image of the most feminine woman’s shoe which originally was designed for a man in 1661. A symbol that raises more questions than it is giving answers. It inspires the viewer to a deeper exploration and challenges to form an opinion. An object with roots in folk tales and a background in fashion history. Cindarella is the American counterpart to the fairy tale “Aschenputtel” which is known worldwide in countless variations. Sindarella – Cindarella, a play on words that implies ambiguously the controversial issues of emancipation or the dictates of fashion, self-determination or female feelings of power or fragility. Opinions will be manifold and will be defined first and foremost by the beholder’s attitude to life.
