Our world no longer is as open as it used to be - or as one thought it was not long ago. We increasingly feel the vulnerability of our well-being, our belongings, ourselves, and our integrity, and the call for security is getting louder. Yet protection has always been a useful strategy and an important demand in many designs. So let’s face today’s world and start with ourselves, our body:
Exposed to nature, to all these strangers around us, to the obvious and the invisible threats of Boisbuchet's natural and social environment, this workshop invites you to design and make protection for your head, feet, or skin, for parts or for the whole of our bodies. We are going to use textiles, sheets and membranes, armour, rubber, silicone, paint, or creme to protect us against diseases or other enemies, impermissible sightings, physical injury, or a broken heart. Let’s get in touch!
