Reduced Down to a Number, or 3 is an installation that means to replicate the experience of jean shopping. Jeans are an integral part of most peoples' wardrobes, but shopping for them is a nightmare. My experiences with dressing rooms are usually negative and focus mainly around ill fitting clothing. My issue with not finding jeans that fit is instead of blaming the system and its arbitrary sizing standard, I blame my body. In my video I am recreating this experience that I have had so many times before. While it sucks not being able to find jeans that fit, there are also reasons for it. What I want the viewers of my work to understand is that this issue is more complicated than simply loving your body, or only buying tailor fitted garments. I hope that they find some sort of comfort knowing that most clothes aren’t made for any of us, knowing that they are not alone in the struggle of finding those perfect pair of jeans that fit your thighs, butt, and waist just right, in this system doesn’t even work for those it was designed around.
