Jan van Esch is a Dutch multi-media artist. Over the period of several months,
van Esch collected abandoned clothes from the streets of Berlin. Through
a rite-of-passage, he gave them the attention they lacked by meticulously
drawing their every fiber. Thereby, he created life-sized portraits of the
garments. He then returned them to the street through performative
interventions with an invitation to take, and an absolution of the things
discarded.
