My Grandmother Is an Egg My Grandmother Is an Egg

My Grandmother Is an Egg

The film reflects the fragility and resilience of a woman who faced oppression from unjust Confucian traditions in Asia. It aims to reflect upon women's oppression and struggle for freedom.

As a child, the director's grandmom was brought to another family to be raised as a future daughter-in-law in a productive role, known as the tradition of T'ung-yang-hsi. It is a tradition of pre-arranged marriage and she was assigned to do all the household chores and was not allowed to receive higher education. The narration is based on interviews with the director’s grandmother’s children. Egg is an important symbol in the film. Symbolically, eggs play a significant role in the film, representing women as they assume their designated roles in a male-dominated society. Through the depiction of the labor and oppression endured by T'ung-yang-hsi participants, the film reaches its climax with the poignant combination of the Hakka 'Old Mountain Song' and tumultuous waves. Behind the rail track, there is the sea. Across the sea, therein lies freedom.

From microscopic to macroscopic, from personal witnesses to the general phenomena in society, the audiences may glimpse the long past, imagine women's situation in our own times, and look forward to striving for real gender equality in the future. Egg is life per se. Eggs are fragile, but at the same time tough. My grandmother is an egg.

PSEUDO: DZHUS AW22 Video Loobook PSEUDO: DZHUS AW22 Video Loobook

PSEUDO: DZHUS AW22 Video Loobook

[never what it seems]

This is the last collection DZHUS has released before the war. The show at Ukrainian Fashion Week took place a few weeks prior to Russia’s invasion, and instead of their traditional showroom in Paris, DZHUS team was already hiding in a bomb-shelter.
The “PSEUDO” concept refers to illusion as the fundamental notion of the metamodernism culture. Duality and hidden senses are undividable from DZHUS design itself, offering numerous metamorphoses of clothing and accessories, and clothing into accessories. The visual aesthetics of the looks is ironic and controversial within itself, hence, self-sufficient. In the AW22 line of unified wardrobe items, the designer’s fantasy went further than functional ‘bonuses’: duplicity is materialised literally, and the extra content is physically unveiled, as the pieces are transformed either when delaminated, or once their inside is extracted. The silhouettes are exaggeratedly structured, and the styles divide into two directions: abstract-escapist ‘cocoons’ versus markedly classic pieces, concealing a potential for radical reincarnations. The drop is produced using cruelty-free materials only, according to DZHUS’ values.
Looking back, this collection became somewhat of a prophecy, with its focus on dualism, unexpected changes, and complete reimagination of the normal.
