50x hospital uniforms are embroidered with words
The
hospital AZ Sint-Blasius (Dendermonde,
Belgium) wants its
patients to feel cared for. They try to keep the atmosphere friendly, with
elements like the different departments being indicated by colours, letters and
numbers. The doctors and nurses are addressed by first name. Part of this drive
is the ‘Solo Quint’ initiative, during
which, it invites artists to make interventions in the hospital space.
Words in Flemish are
discreetly embroidered with white and light blue thread on various different
parts of the garments. The staff members of AZ Sint-Blasius then wear the
uniforms.
