↘ Here you can find a selection of some of my work, recent or former.
My practice resides at the connectivity of different disciplines, somewhere between visual and critical design, fashion and gender studies, sociology and its research methods.
I design methodologies and media that provide live and interactive ways to explore the entanglements between bodies and visual culture, and more particularly their relation to gender. Most of my projects are now expanded into workshop formats.
My latest project
⟶ Diagramming Something Missing: The Display of Fashion Beyond Gender outlines the conditions in which the fluidity of gender is being actualised in the production of fashion photography. It is part of a broader approach that views imagery as future making and productive of imaginaries, and thus as a space in which the past and present can be questioned.

My intervention in printed fashion and lifestyle magazines only leaves the garments, postures, patterns and objects surroundings bodies visible. The remaining gaps trouble the assumptions of gender normativity as it reveals its ambiguous fragility. By erasing each bare body part visible, I wanted to point at the complex layers operating in the expression of identity beyond any gender assignation to bodies. ⤿2013
