Zentai is a short form for a word 'zenshin taitu', full body tights.
Zentai is also a word meaning 'whole' or 'entire' in Japanese. (全体)

Zentai suit was invented in late 60's in Japan by Marcy Anarchy. It has not been practiced as a comtemporary art form. Here in Singapore, we explore the possibility of what zentai can express.

Some of the messages that zentai may contain;
In Singapore, sexuality is one of the topic that is not preferred to be expressed. Zentai could cover this topic as it has no nudity, yet it exposes the body as if it is nude. This may gives dynamic to Singapore art.

Another example is the identity. The war happens because there're strong belief in group identity. When the belief of self-identity increases, it isolates a parson.
Zentai covers the identity of the parson which is the face. This may give question of the identity 

Another example is transformation. Most people struggle to become what we aspire to be. We want to transform ourselves and be a good person or a super hero. Wearing zentai, it may give its experience.

Children's workshop

The Substation Gallery  14:30-16:00

Art workshop conducted by Marla Bendini
 
This workshop will cater to children from the age of 4 to 14 years old. Participants will discuss and create “Super Hero” costumes, using painting, assemblage and sewing techniques to customize a zentai suit based on the “Super Heroes” whom they aspire to be. The participants will be a guided class, whereby the workshop instructor will introduce and implement art-making methods in the creative process of the making of the ‘Super Heroes’ zentai suits.
