Feminism without Borders

Designer Clémentine Baldo experiments with textiles, using recycled and melted vinyl gloves to mimic the texture and feel of skin. She works on prints that explore a deconstructed nudity, in which she symbolically destroys her own body in order to nurture a violent yet vulnerable version of women’s bodily existence. The result is a play on nudity, on what is hidden and visible, and on the notion of disconnecting and reconstructing the body. Experimenting with these concepts, Clémentine erases the boundaries of the body, to re-assemble new ones. For the Go!25 Borderless project she experimented by deforming her own chest with stilettos pressed against her breast. The resulting shapes were developed into a corset sculpture, paired with a dress printed with a collage of her body parts.
