Transit Camouflage

Gretchen Vitamvas

Gallery visitors will be able to check out briefcases containing L Wear: coveralls printed with a graphic camouflage design inspired by the interior of L train cars and also military camouflage. Participants will simply ride the train and “blend in” to the car’s confined space –the suit a visual representation of a desire for security, both physical and emotional. The literal blending of the L Wear suit, and also its stand-out oddity are meant to encourage the captive audience to consider their own personal presentation, the uniforms they wear to blend in and be accepted, and how they read others based on appearance. visit subwearnyc.com
