Working on Shame is a collaborative project by Berlin based fashion designer Kaja Busch and photographer Marie Haefner.
Kaja Busch‘s latest collection is about shame in a social and bodily context. After extensive research based on interviews with women and non-binary people the aim was to use commonly known and readable signifiers of shame and turn them into garments. In the end the collection should be something one can reflect on and have an empowering effect that could normalize what is usually deemed as shameful. Marie Haefner‘s photographic approach for this project is strongly influenced by Rineke Dijkstra‘s Beach Portraits and the way her subjects are portrayed through the poses they take.
