Etoffe de la peau 958#1-9

This installation is the result of reflection on the second life of recycled materials. It questions the initial status of waste, and, through artistic action, valorizes , gives it new life and constitutes an ethical as well as aesthetic act questioning our eco-responsibility. From recovered textile samples, which appealed to me with their double-sided contrast, I created a series of x-ray bodies, engraved with the fabric design. Cut up, scraps and fibers have accumulated. From the first two bodies were born four others, more and more spidery, then body parts, until there was no more waste.
