The paradoxical and often insecure dichotomy between people and dwellings has long been an important theme in my work. “Pret à porter, clef en main » is a play on words that implies that real-estate speculation has rendered the dwelling superficial; something easily acquired and then discarded like a cheap piece of clothing. But beyond this ironic commentary these images are meant to suggest a breakdown between the interior and the exterior, the past and the present. I want to evoke buildings that keep traces of their inhabitants and vice versa, people who contain a memory of a dwelling within them.
