Pretty Exposed

  • Cedric Maurice Wiegel

Pretty Exposed is an interdisciplinary fashion production by Raya van der Kroon. It is an exploration into the boundaries of female sexiness and empowerment with field research done in Rio de Janeiro and Amsterdam. The sonic concept was made around the same principles. A gloomy, nightlife atmosphere that included texts of interviewed women in Rio and Amsterdam, painting a picture of what it is to be sexy but yet empowered. Field recordings were added, colliding both the open tropical culture of Brazil with the hypnotizing, nostalgic culture of Amsterdam. ​Pretty Exposed was performed at the FashionClash Festival 2017 in Maastricht and at the Ostade Theater in Amsterdam My roles included sound design, technical producer and production assistant. ​
