Serapis presents for the first time a series of pieces from its inaugural collection: I Will Care For You And Nurture Your Soul.
The collection is based on personal photographs, taken from crew members aboard a Greek cargo ship, which traveled from Poland to Saudi Arabia through the Suez Canal and back. It captures the transcendental atmosphere of the daily life inside different sections of the ship.
It combines visual material from the nautical life with references to Philippino, Pranic healing practices, underlining the state between working routine and spirituality the Philippino crew members float in.
On view in the exhibition space is a selection of clothes from the collection - accompanied by a book containing the complete archival material, part of which was used for their creation.
Serapis produces collections evolving around shipping and contemporary Greece, where all pieces are limited editions.
Serapis currently collaborates with a network of shops and museums in Athens (NUMBER 3), Vienna (21er Haus) and Berlin (ULF HAINES, 10119). Part of the first collection was presented at Place Vendôme, Paris during “Menswear Fashion Week - June 2015".
