Unable to look inside, the viewer is confronted with the motions of the cloth alone, the cause of which becomes clear only slowly.<br \/>\nAgain, Johanna Smiatek plays with an inversion of fields of association. In department stores this kind of booth is used to try on clothing. But instead of being worn by (women\u00b4s) bodies, the fabric develops a life of its own and becomes a paraphrase, for a wind-ruffled dress perhaps. The artist also developed the closely related object <em>Dog Days<\/em> (2007) referring to the famous scene in Billy Wilder\u00b4s \u2018The Seven Year Itch\u2019 (1955) where Marilyn Monroe\u00b4s dress is blown up around her by the airstream of a subway passing beneath her.<br \/>\nBeyond its literal meaning, <em>Blow Up<\/em> again is a title with reference to a cinematic masterpiece, lending itself to an extended field of interpretation. The film, directed by Michelangelo Antonioni in 1966, is set in London\u00b4s fashion scene. A photographer believes he has documented a murder with his camera, which he nevertheless cannot prove. His doubts grow so strong that in the end, he questions the distinction between fiction and reality. In a similar vein, one stands in front of the curtain fabric\u00b4s dancing motions, mesmerized for a moment. Like many of Johanna Smiatek\u00b4s kinetic sculptures, this piece is a reference to the power of projection with which we imbue artifacts and lend them life.
