The leitmotif of this book is Dubuffet's quote: “Every material has its language, is a language. You don't have to first give it a language or put it at the service of language". Fragments of clothing and fabrics serve as material in this book.

"Everything should be beautiful in a person - face, clothes, soul, thoughts" - said Anton Chekhov, emphasizing the importance of appearance - face and clothes - in the search for soul mates. For if the face is the mirror of the soul, clothing is the language of thoughts.

The book manages almost without text, but communicates with images that I made with a copier from the 1980s. This device can be used to produce electrophotograms of two- or three-dimensional objects in static and in motion. Not least because of the limited depth of field and the extraordinarily high resolution, this technique enables images that are unique in their graphic expression.
