Paying tribute to the art of dressing up and the power it conveys, but also to the space that witnesses this transformation. The walls inside which we allow ourselves to be vulnerable: from the dressing room of a shop to the loges of a theater or the toilets of a club. The mirror will reflect the makeover scene, the hands will do the work. Certain spaces are more prone to let us go, to let us believe in this new character we are about to turn into.

-French Shopping, an Anthology
It is a continuation of my thesis, about shoplifting.
I interviewed shoplifters, I proposed to make them a piece of clothe for their practice. Together we discussed craft. Me, as a tailor, them, as shoplifter, we met through garments, and pockets. Their craft along with the practice of everyday life. How shoplifting it is not just something that they do, but also what shoplifting does to them!
Together, we revealed subjectivities.
Their subversive subjectivities. I’ve been amazed by these singular experiences, sharp and fragile, illegal theories. I wanted to share these interviews, but their words are, I think, extremely vulnerable. I made a publication from all these interviews, an anthology of talks. The retranscription of their conversations, stories, their social, political, ethical, and moral perspectives around shoplifting.
My aim was to set up, through words, the (potentially) impossible encounter between different subjectivities.
I’m therefore asking other people to read, and discover these texts, in front of a camera. I had no expectation, only an immense gratitude to these who played the game of this subjective encounter. What does it triggers in us, to embody for a moment ones word, thought, morals...
-The pockets and clothes which I made for them.
-The publication gathering all the conversations.
-The video, people sitting on a chair or a sofa, in their office or living room, reading the words of someone they don’t know. They’ll bump on certain words, smile and frown...

The Truuta Method
This is a laboratory for examining value. Garments are unpicked and a mass of hidden information is revealed. Truuta, the 350 year old bog body, taught me the importance of uncovering. Exhuming vessels of history, using serendipity as a research method, the immediate surface unearths folklore, conservation and lineages.
