We are delighted to be partnering with Cape Town based artist and graphic designer, Koooooos for the latest edition of our Beyond Stitches campaign! 

Koooooos' work is an investigation, so to speak, into the frequently the blurred lines of privacy. In some instances, he accesses these moments through the nude-selfies, sexts, which flaunt our desire for agency in capturing ourselves naked, posed. It’s a question of representation, re-representation and then, re-re-representation. His work is to summon the psychology of privacy and the gentle grotesque nature of our bodies as we work to capture them. And as a result it becomes about the gaze, the dynamics of the body and how we use power – whether it’s nudity or not. It’s about the political identity of the ‘flesh-coloured’ panties. It’s about seeing ourselves on a screen, naked, exposed, only to arrive at the unexpected result, “oh damn, I do have a good ass”. A little less self loathing and a little more skin happens here. It’s about that toilet selfie, or the stolen glance at yourself in the cubicle mirror as you’re pulling your pants back up. It’s full frontal, it’s fetishes, it’s flesh, it’s fear.
