Inflatables as art

So, seeing as this place seems a little bit dead I thought I'd share a thing I came across. It might not be entirely relevant to everyones tastes.

Sasha Frolova, the gorgeous and wondefully talented actress, model and artist appears to be part of an art/ music show which features her performing in latex suits. While the inflatable parts have only really been limited to props and her wide assorment of "wigs". I'm sure its all probably a commentary on society being strange and plastic but it results in such outrageousness as this-

For the truly strange you can look up music videos of the outfit "Aquaaerobika" which features her with her weird balloon band mates. She also appears to have inflatable sculptures in installations, something I wish I could do at some point. Anyhow, I really love the creative designs and bold colours and I hope you like them too.

Also, a special mention to Saeborg, a Japanese artist who has also done some really funky things with art displays and costumes.

I hope to see more portrayals of these strange and pretty balloon worlds in the future.

"it's aerobics for soul and heart for the viewer. I'd like to create a universal image of a woman. You look at her and you don't understand - is she from Space or neighbourhood, an object or a person. So that viewer learns to imagine, and to generate assosiations.

Like all creative people I have creative and sexual channels intertwined, just somebody feels it and somebody skips it. I like everything inflatible, don't know why. There's been a project near Eiffel Tower in 1960-s: to launch shiny balloons into space so that they form bright constellation in orbit and reflect sunshine. Centre Pompidou used to have a large exposition of inflatable art in 2005, it impressed me greatly. I also like Yayoi Kusama's drawings of balloons, inflatible "Celebration" series of ingenious Jeff Koons..."

Balloony belly boy

I once read a story on deviantart that was simular to your topic, it was about a new age artist that made inflation art but instead of inflatable objects or inflatable suits like mentioned above he inflated people to unnatural sizes. Your forum post reminded me of that story but it also got me thinking,what if there was an art show exclusively for inflatable art and people. It would have to be a meet up of inflationists like ourselves in an art gallery of some sort and it previews different forms of inflation to cater to all audiences but in one section have inflated people. These inflated people wouldn't be big balls of flesh floating above our heads they would be inflated to a normal inflated belly's scale (if you can an inflated belly normal). Much like how body artists put there art onto a living person to have pose at an art show, have inflated people stand in poses or even let people rub/feel their stomachs, they could even get artsy and draw art on their bellies. Sorry to go on a rant, just throwing out ideas and fantasies.

I recall seeing inflatable dresses being modelled at a runway show sometime in the past, probably saw them on here actually, or somewhere relevant to the fetish and not fashion :p

Neat idea and interesting finds, though I dont see many people jumping at inflatable clothing outside of the fetish scene

Then again, there were those Reebok pumps that were popular back when, who knows?

Great find!

Also, while it's not focused on wearables, there was a town that had an inflatables art gallery I'll post here:
