LAURENCE LE CONSTANT
IN MY SHOES
In My Shoes explores footwear as a space where sculpture, featherwork and transformation converge.
Moving between wearable pieces and autonomous sculptures, these works investigate desire, metamorphosis and the power of objects to alter our perception of the body.
Feathers, colour, texture and handcrafted interventions transform footwear into singular presences situated between contemporary art, craftsmanship and imagination.
EVE & SUKI
Conceived as sculptural objects, EVE and SUKI draw upon the seductive codes of luxury footwear while subverting their purpose.
Their forms immediately evoke the high-heeled shoe as an object of desire, yet their architecture makes them impossible to wear. Suspended between attraction and frustration, these sculptures transform footwear into autonomous presences situated between beauty, strangeness and metamorphosis.
