Our photo series began with a shared desire to experiment with staged scenes that question the notion of virility and toxic masculinity. Dressing Room asks a central question: “Does clothing still define gender?” Performance is at the heart of this work—each photograph emerges from a collaborative staging where clothing and accessories by both Flynn Maria Bergmann and Noura Gauper are mixed together, enhanced by music that shaped the poses and energy of every shot.​

We use fashion photography, clothing, and accessories as narrative tools to explore how gender identity is constructed, performed, and continually transformed. Notably, Flynn Maria Bergmann has become my muse—a deliberate feminist reversal of art history's tradition where women were muses for male artists.​

By freely mixing the unconscious biases linked to “men’s” and “women’s” wardrobes, we propose a new reading that distinguishes clothing from costume: clothing as an individual choice, costume as a collective norm. Dressing Room is imagined as a space where gender can be (un)dressed—a reflection on gender, dress codes, and fashion, and on how external signs such as garments, posture, and attitude participate in constantly redefining what is seen as feminine or masculine.
