Life Will Kill You is an installation designed by
Molly Hunker and
Greg Corso
for the Revolve Clothing showroom in West Hollywood. To stand in
contrast to the high-fashion clothing of the boutique, an everyday
industrial material – the zip tie – is aggregated to create a floating
volume that nestles below an existing soffit. The design is intended to
explore the edge between aggression and elegance through material
sensibility, overall form, and visual effect. The cloud-like volume is
created by a double-sided surface composed of over 100,000 zip ties.
The exterior surface of the volume is an aggregation of longer, wider
white zip ties while the interior is comprised of shorter and finer
colored zip ties. The resulting bulging form offers ever-changing
glimpses of blurred yet vivid color combinations as the zip ties layer
on top of one another in the predominantly black and white store
interior.
