recyclage – customisation – désobéissance : sewing and art
2 Sound Installations for the exhibition “L’étoffe des Héroïnes”
Petit Palais Museum – Paris – 29.06.07 / 19.08.07
13 women from the suburban Paris area, housewiwes, welfare recipients or jobless, participated in a custom-made clothing project and workshop managed by the fashion designer Sakina M’sa with the aim to create clothes inspired by women’s place in society during the 19th century on the theme of “disobedience”, customizing existing clothing.
The result was exhibited at the Petit Palais with 25 000 visitors.
For the work Sakina M’sa asked me to create, I attented a few sawing sessions to capture the moments of shared creation and exquisite conversations, observing what was happening between the group of women, and i drove individual and intimate portraits, in my own way as i love to do.
