Work Details

Concept and Intention of the Artwork

"- adieux aux vêtements inutiles –" is a series that began in 2020. It features "unwanted clothes" donated by people and audio interviews with eight questions about the clothes. By taking the parting with clothes, a very personal act in urban life, through the roundabout process of talking with the owners and transcribing those clothes, the series brings to light the different times and stories inherent in the objects over time.

This is a men's suit that was once worn by its owner, who used to work in the food and beverage industry. It was with him through the lowest point in his life.
