What in ourself is a projection and what happens when we are oblivious to these projections? What happens when we incorporate ourselves into that which is foreign, handling it as something that is exposed or rejected? Projections are not fake, the prism exists, through which we see the ambitions, opinions, longings and experiences, the constitution of our world outlook. Variously shaped, polyvalent, always in a different light, in evolution, in change. (POPOVA / POLYLUX Collection). Julia Tietze is a cultural scientist and a fashion designer.
