Artist’s Intervention #3: Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez and Camper
As an artist interested in putting fragments of production processes in the spotlight, sculptor Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez found a rich vein of material in Camper’s fusion of traditional craft and new technology. Exploring the shoemaker’s art for Handmade, she transformed a Bernhard Willhelm design for Camper and a pair of the brand’s mismatched ‘TWS’ , effectively turning each shoe inside out as she carefully unpicked stitching and uncovered the stages of its manufacture. ‘The idea was that the inner sole, lining or glue marks become the aesthetic focus,’ she explains. ‘Hopefully it becomes more interesting to see the process behind the finished product.’ Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez This Berlin/London-based Costa Rican sculptor, who first came to our attention via a nod from Tracey Emin (W*142), tackles the history of her materials with the lightest of touches. Fräulein, one of her best-known series, features totem pole-like towers of stacked vases, painted black bar a vertical strip to reveal the original pattern.  www.tatianaecheverrifernandez.de CamperIt’s been a long time since Camper was simply the shoe you turned to for cross-town hikes or low-key Sunday rambles. The Spanish brand’s footwear still ranks among the comfiest you can slip into, but the past few years have seen it seriously up the style stakes with Camper Toðer, a series of designer collaborations.
