On 27 June<\/strong>, opens at Saco Azul \/ Maus H\u00e1bitos in Porto<\/strong>, \u201cF.A.U.X. \u2014 Fetish Amulets Under X\u201d<\/strong>, the first solo exhibition by Ivan Hunga Garcia<\/strong><\/a> outside the performative realm of fashion. Curated by Sofia Tudela, the show will run until 25 July and offers a sensorial, provocative experience where art becomes body, matter, and gesture.<\/p>\n

The exhibition brings together eleven human-scale objects that explore themes such as voyeurism, BDSM, and body politics, forming a visual narrative that invites audiences to engage ethically, aesthetically, and physically. At the core of the project is the innovative use of SCOBY \u2014 a biological membrane cultivated through kombucha fermentation \u2014 which the artist applies as a plant-based alternative to leather and synthetic materials, highlighting its potential as a living, fragile, and transformative substance.<\/p>\n

In this project, Ivan Hunga Garcia deconstructs the traditional contexts of the catwalk and gallery, proposing a new exhibition lexicon in which the audience’s bodies are invited to take a stance \u2014 ethically, aesthetically, and physically \u2014 in relation to the objects. The result is a manifesto against aesthetic neutrality and the sterility of form: an invitation to sensorial, emotional, and psychic experience.<\/p>\n

More than an exhibition, F.A.U.X. is a hybrid territory, where art can be touched, where the object can wear out, and where the body can find itself reflected.<\/p>\n

IHG aka Ivan Hunga Garcia<\/strong> explores the limits of matter and form at the intersection of fashion, technology, and biology. A graduate in Fashion Design from ESAD Matosinhos, IHG practice combines technical experimentation with a sensorial and speculative discourse on the future of the body and clothing. In 2022, presented a pioneering investigation into SCOBY based biotextiles at ModaLisboa\u2019s Sangue Novo competition, which became the launchpad for a series of performances and exhibitions within Lisbon Fashion Week and other artistic contexts. In 2024, his work expands further with the integration of mechatronics and electronics, consolidating a laboratory where regenerative design meets speculative textile devices. IHG currently lives and works in Porto, where he runs his fashion and textile exploration studio.<\/p>\n
