" Knickers "

Installation is in development.

In the Middle Ages, men, tended to wear a loose-fitting pair of pants called braies (later called Knickers). These pants were stepped into and then tied around the waist and legs just under the knee. Although they were initially used as outer garments, by the late Middle Ages, they were used exclusively as underwear. Braies were designed with a flap at the front which could be untied, allowing men to urinate without needing to take the entire garment off.

SÚNDERMANN:

"Let’s not overcomplicate things. This artwork is exactly what it claims to be: a giant piece of medieval underwear. Simple, striking, and unapologetically hilarious—especially when you see it standing proud by the ocean. Fashion has always fascinated me—not just the clothes themselves, but how we humans constantly rewrite the rules of what’s 'in' and 'out.' Once upon a time, this underwear was the height of decency and style. Now, it’s a relic that makes us chuckle. Think about the ’80s. Back then, we thought neon spandex and shoulder pads were cutting-edge. Now? We cringe. Today’s trends are no different—a bubble of self-assured cool that will inevitably pop. Years from now, we’ll look back at what we’re wearing today and laugh, too.

This artwork isn’t just funny; it’s a mirror. A reminder that fashion, like history, has a way of making fools of us all. And isn’t that the fun of it?"
