X-Ray Fashion is a virtual reality (VR) documentary installation that lets audiences explore the darker side of garment production within the fast-fashion industry, through a bodily experience. The Jury says This installation rethinks how we show what happens behind the runway. It does more than tell the story; it lets people experience it in a very physical and tangible way. This provides a deeper understanding of the value chain, and where every piece of garment comes from. Another benefit is that the installation can travel the world. And we know that it fulfills its purpose: More than 300.000 people have visited the installations – and  80% of visitors say it has changed the way they think about fashion.
