Believe Liar Installation

ninalevett posted this on:

Austrian designer Nina Levett creates narrative ornaments for wallpapers and textiles.

In this installation Nina Levett shows a wallpaper that tells the story of a young prostitute who has married a client but finds herself losing her identity. The title is “Believe Liar”. During the day her husband wanders about the city in search of prostitutes instead of going to work whilst she lies at home in bed trying to sleep. Words like “lie, sleep, trust” add the narrative element to the artwork.

The woman is hiding behind the cushion. This is one of the options she has to escape the violence of her relationship.

This is the design for the wallpaper. The background wall is made of 10m x2,5m handprinted fabric.
