Some references towards hybridity... and away from feeling as if it belongs to the Magic Flute
Andrew and I were talking after our super group Skype conference (-: and we wanted to give a bit of feedback about the design ideas so far.
Main point is that we would like to avoid Magic Flute imagery, opera or classical theatre associations.
We’re are trying to blend in the Dusseldorf carnival, but we’re also trying to create a surreal hybrid image, where there is abstraction of certain elements, where your own strange imagery elements also come out.
We are interested in a strange combination or mix, so where the costume is working with all the tiled layers, but then at some point it also incorporates a more formal part.
So hybridity within the overall look. We give you an example so you don’t think we are annoying vague !
Andrew sent me this Neo Rauch paintings that conveys this feeling, that he calls more „European”.

We don’t want to make it too complicated but are looking for a hybrid twist basically.
Also we thought best if the little layers are not leaf-shaped but tile-shaped or coin-shaped like we saw on some Bolivian costumes.
