From Wednesday 12 March to Sunday 17 August 2008 inclusive the MoMu (ModeMuseum Provincie Antwerpen (Antwerp Province Fashion Museum)) presents the exhibition MOI, VERONIQUE. BRANQUINHO TOuTeNUe and this in connection with the ten years' existence of the label of the designer Veronique Branquinho.
Duality and mystery form a constant in Veronique Branquinho’s world: attract and repel, play and push aside again. The image of the red velvet curtain on the exhibition poster, a wink at ‘The Red Room’ from David Lynch's TV series Twin Peaks, comes back as the leitmotiv in the scenography. Heavy curtains are used to delimit the various areas. They create an intimate setting and dare the visitor to discover for himself, to reveal what lies hidden on the other side.
At the collection level we see that the Branquinho silhouette rather conceals than unveils. Stable values are, among other things, the long sweeping skirts with flounces, the capes, whether or not with a large hood that partly hides the face, and the polo neck sweaters, worn under jackets, blouses or bustiers. They are items of clothing that outline a slim silhouette, that are seldom explicit and that are specially intended to leave room for the sensual game of suggestion.
We come across duality at various levels with Branquinho, both in her image of woman and in her use of the combination of materials. In her work the woman is at the same time innocent and erotic, both playful and strict, mysterious and always complex. In her earlier work the transitional stage from girl to woman is at the centre, together with the emotional complexity of the rites of passage in the life of each woman. Figures such as the schoolgirl, the ‘Prom queen’ and ambiguous characters from films such as Histoire d'O, Heavenly Creatures and Bilitis populate Branquinho’s language of image.
In building up her silhouettes Veronique Branquinho likes to play with mixing elements from the men's and women's wardrobe, both as regards the cut and the materials. She has a weakness for substantial, classic English fabrics - such as tweed - that traditionally belong in a man's wardrobe, and combines these in the same silhouette with more flowing, female fabrics such as silk or fragile embroidery, for example. This duality often permeates the composition of the silhouette, whereby, for example, a very ‘constructed’ jacket with a lot of attention to the cut is presented with a simple, more ‘casual’, skirt. There is a continuous balance between extremes such as strict and playful, correct and nonchalant, soft and rough.
The Blitz collective - author Oscar van den Boogaard, actor Steven Van Watermeulen and b-architect Sven Grooten - was invited by Veronique Branquinho to sharpen the concept and the scenography of the exhibition together with her.

这本书的叙事节奏如同夏日午后缓慢流淌的时光,带着一种令人放松的、近乎催眠的韵律感。我发现自己不得不放慢阅读的速度,不是因为内容晦涩,而是因为每一个句子、每一个场景的铺陈都浸透着一种慵懒而又精确的观察力。它没有那种传统小说中常见的跌宕起伏,取而代之的是对日常琐碎细节的深度挖掘,但正是这些看似微不足道的片段,构建起了一个异常坚实的情感内核。作者似乎对人与环境之间的微妙互动有着异乎寻常的敏感,笔下的人物与他们所处的空间是相互塑造、彼此渗透的。读到某些段落时,我甚至能清晰地“闻到”那种特定的气味,感受到那种特定的光线角度,这种沉浸式的体验非常罕见。它不强迫你思考,而是邀请你一同呼吸,一同感受那种弥漫在空气中的情绪张力。这种叙事手法极其考验作者的功力,稍有不慎就会流于平庸,但这本作品却成功地将平淡化为了深刻,将留白处理成了最动人的部分。
评分这本书的封面设计简直是一场视觉的盛宴,那种极简主义与某种内在的张力完美融合的风格,一下子就抓住了我的眼球。我必须承认,在书店里翻阅时,我几乎是立刻就被它吸引住了,那种沉默却又充满暗示性的设计语言,让我对里面到底藏着什么故事充满了好奇。内页的排版处理得非常考究,字体的选择和留白的处理都透露出一种匠心独运,读起来非常舒服,仿佛作者在引导你进入一个精心构建的私人空间。我尤其欣赏它在视觉上营造出的那种疏离而又精致的氛围,这与我通常阅读的那些喧闹的故事截然不同,它更像是一件需要细细品味的艺术品,每一页的展开都像是在揭示某种精心隐藏的秘密。这本书的装帧质量也无可挑剔,拿在手里沉甸甸的,那种触感本身就是一种享受,让人忍不住想要反复摩挲。它不追求华丽的辞藻堆砌,而是用最克制的方式表达最复杂的情感,这种高级感是很少有作品能够达到的。整体来看,光是这份对“形”的执着,就已经值回票价了,它成功地在我的书架上占据了一个非常独特且醒目的位置,让人过目难忘。
评分这本书带给我的整体感受,可以用“冷静的激情”来形容。它探讨的主题似乎是宏大的,关于身份、关于边缘化、关于如何在一个日益规范化的世界中保持自我的真实性,但作者处理这些议题的方式却异常的内敛和克制。它没有激昂的口号,也没有煽情的段落,所有的情感都像是被压缩在极小的空间里,一旦释放,力量惊人。它更像是对存在状态的一种深刻的、近乎哲学层面的沉思录,只不过这些思考被包裹在了一个极具美学指导性的叙事框架之中。我欣赏它对“沉默”的运用,很多时候,人物之间的沉默比他们说出的话语更有力量,这种留白恰恰是现代社会最稀缺的资源。它让人在快节奏的生活中找到了一个可以暂停、可以进行深度内省的锚点,提供了一种高质量的、不被打扰的阅读体验,是一次非常值得的知识与心灵投资。
评分从文学技巧的角度来看,这本书展现了一种非常成熟且独特的语言风格。作者对于词汇的运用精准得令人发指,既没有故作高深,也没有流于浅白,而是在一种看似日常的表述中,巧妙地嵌入了极富张力的意象。我特别注意到它在形容某些状态时所选择的动词和形容词,它们往往带着一种冰冷而又精确的质感,有效地营造出一种疏离的美感。这种“精确的疏离”是这本书最大的魅力之一。它没有过多的情绪渲染,但文字本身却具有强大的感染力,如同手术刀般切割开表象,直抵核心。更令人称道的是,作者似乎对西方现代主义文学有着深刻的理解,但又成功地将其转化成了属于自己的声音,没有陷入模仿的窠臼。阅读过程中,我多次停下来,仅仅是为了反复咀嚼某个句子的结构,感受那种语言在口腔中形成的独特节奏和韵味,这是一种纯粹的文字享受。
评分我读完之后留下了一种复杂的情绪回响,那种感觉非常难以用简单的“喜欢”或“不喜欢”来概括。它更像是一面镜子,映照出了我们内心深处那些潜藏的、不愿承认的脆弱和渴望。书中人物的动机处理得极其微妙,你很难断定谁是绝对的对与错,更多的是看到他们在特定环境下,为了维护某种平衡而做出的那些不完美的选择。我特别欣赏作者没有急于给出明确的道德判断,而是将解释权完全交还给了读者。这迫使我去反思自己的立场和价值观,每一次的阅读都会带来新的理解层次。那些看似不经意的对话,回味起来却充满了机锋和深意,仿佛每一句都有好几层潜台词在暗涌流动。这种需要读者主动参与构建意义的过程,让这本书的生命力大大延长了。它不是一本读完就束之高阁的书,而是会时不时冒出来,让你重新思考某个情节或某句台词的作品,其后劲儿十足,令人回味无穷。
