Dress-up

Start Date 06 November 2004
End Date 23 January 2005
Venue Centraal Museum
Location Utrecht, The Netherlands

From November 6, 2004 to January 13, 2005, condom dresses by the Brazilian designer Adriana Bertini (Porto Alegre, 1971) were on display in the Centraal Museum. She started designing these dresses to encourage young people to talk about safe sex.
The dresses were purchased by writer and collector Han Nefkens and were added to his H+F collection, which the Centraal Museum has on long-term loan.
It later turned out that the latex condoms could not be preserved. Photographers Viviane Sassen and Martine Stig were therefore commissioned to capture the dresses in photos.
