This film undertakes a journey into the amazing parallel universe of East Berlin’s fashion designers and experts in the art of survival. For, in the midst of the constraints of life in the GDR, there existed a fantasy world where it was possible to dance to another tune, be individual and even provocative. The most important characteristic of this bohemian scene was one’s per- sonal style. But this certainly wasn’t something that could be bought off the peg in the GDR.

Sylvie Fleury uses Carl Andre's floor-based sculptures as runways. Women parade across them in high heels, engaging in a play of dominance. In this work, Fleury takes on the masculinism of Minimalism, an art movement that emerged in the late 50s and early 60s in which industrial materials, serial geometric forms and the artwork's literal presence in space were privileged, mobilizing the seductive, feminized superficiality of fashion and advertising.
