Les vêtements
Caroline Blais
Current project
Mentorat
Les vêtements tells the day-to-day story of a young woman and her relationship with clothes at a turning point in her adult life. Without wishing to make a commentry on fashion, I am interested in taking clothes apart and reconstructing them so that only colour, texture, motif, and movement remain. Using these fragments, I want to translate the beauty I see in the material that surrounds me into animated images.
