The Photocopier room of the office is transformed into the tailor's workshop. As a way of recognizing herself, the invisible woman uses the photocopy machines to take photos of her body, through this discovering and reassessing her identity. This becomes a direct reference of self-identification during the construction of her character identity and in her journey to awareness. The desire to transform her identity follows her need of self-identification.
These photocopies are used to make the patterns that give rise to the invisible woman making one of her fancy dresses. They are realized with the help of a hand-made sewing machine, carpet strings, office scissors and staplers.
In this case, the fancy dress is the “Crazy Pilot” that she wears to improve her experience playing sports in her false-ceiling-based Flying Simulator. The fancy dress is a way of showing the individual fight for creating Nora’s own identity in an increasingly impersonal world inside the unified corporate identity of the office.
