Glass Handbag
With Michèle Lapointe
2009
Transporting a ten-gram shirt in a ten-kilogram bag. Conceived with glass artist Michèle Lapointe, the glass bag reverses the relationship between container and contents: the super organza shirt, almost immaterial, is encased in a bag that is as heavy as it is vulnerable. Rather than facilitating transport, the object imposes on the body the weight of what it claims to protect. Between constraint and precaution, the project questions the value of objects when their function recedes.
