University of Applied Arts Vienna MIMIKRY The mimicry complex describes a situation where a group of organisms, the mimics, have evolved to share common perceived characteristics with another group, the models, through the selective action of a signal-receiver or dupe. As an interaction, mimicry is in most cases advantageous to the mimic and harmful to the receiver. It may, depending on the situation, increase, reduce or even have no effect on the model`s fitness. Crypsis is the ability of an organism to avoid observation. A cryptic animal may do this through camouflage, nocturnality, subterranean lifestyle, transparency or mimicry. The collection explores the variety of mimicry strategies in traditional communities, in particular their symbolic, moral and identity concepts. Cryptic, conservative fashion attitudes emphasize self-effacement and excentricity, questions of identity crystallise and fluctuate at the same time. The contemporary morphology of an antiquated fashion and lifestyle legacy.
