All Stories Have Endings, 2006
Kim Hall explores our relationship with clothes through a series of garments, performances and photographs. She originally worked in film and video, her interest in clothing growing out of her need to make costumes for her own performance and photography work. Her work is strongly narrative, it also celebrates her own childhood when her mother encouraged her to dress herself and the strange and wonderful outfits this freedom resulted in. In one project she swaps the clothes that she is wearing for those that a friend has on. In another, she and a co-worker wear the same clothes everyday for a week. She has also made a range of garments that change over time, a dyed purple dress whose colour fades each time it is washed to slowly reveal a hidden print and a printed latex top where the image disappears through use.
