TALE OF TWO CITIES


SPRING 2023
DESIGN ELECTIVE
INSTRUCTOR: ZEULER LIMA
Tales of Two Cities is a wearable narrative that explores the blurred boundaries between dream and reality, past and present, Amsterdam and Shenzhen. Inspired by the journey of Zhaoxiao Yong—a Dafen Village artist who dedicated years to replicating Van Gogh’s paintings only to discover their color inaccuracy when seeing the originals—this project reflects on perception, reproduction, and artistic identity.

The garment unfolds like a story: one side, created through image transfer techniques, envisions how Van Gogh might have painted Shenzhen’s urban village today. The other, using cyanotype printing, captures Yong’s monochromatic interpretation of Amsterdam, evoking a distant, dreamlike quality. Worn and reversed, the piece invites the wearer to shift perspectives, immersing themselves in both worlds as they navigate the thin line between artistic homage and disillusionment.
