Last August, Mayo Irion presented his collection of unique T-shirts in the shop installation “Mayo’s T-Shirt Shop” at the message salon on the first floor of Perla-Mode. Mayo photographed buyers wearing their purchased T-shirts with a Polaroid camera and then displayed the pictures in the shop. By the last day of the exhibition, all the T-shirts had been sold, and 60 Polaroid photos had been taken.
Mayo compiled the Polaroids into “Mayo’s T-Schört Büchlein”, a publication the size of a Polaroid photograph. On Easter Sunday, the exclusive booklet will be presented for the first time in the foyer of Perla-Mode and offered for sale in a limited edition of 50 copies. The people pictured in the booklet can purchase it at a special price.
To present “Mayo’s T-Shirt Booklet”, Mayo invited the young Zurich musician Evelinn Trouble to Perla Mode. Evelinn Trouble writes and composes her own songs, is a member of the young Zurich band Lorry and has received a lot of attention and praise for her recently self-released CD “arbitary act”.
