«Wednesday morning, in bed. No desire to leave. In order to face the day, the bodies are intertwined in voluminous shapes. This excess of matter extends the privacy zone beyond the body to provide protection. Interwoven in soft fabrics, silk, felted woollens, the design of the knot wedges the bodies in a tasty fleece. In order to stay in this bubble of sweetness, you carry your bed on your back.
Hopfully, the real world won’t catch up with you. But the minutes pass and the knot around the bust gets a little too tight, the sheets obstruct the movement, the breakfast that awaits us on the table begins to come to life... The welfare injunction isolates us and makes us delirious. When the dissociative flight stops, it’s 1 pm and we haven’t moved.»
Julie Chauland presents her first collection tackling her obssession with comfort, mental health and bitter irony.
