In every of Mathilde’s projects, the idea of memory has always been important. To be more specific, the idea of false memory : how the brain tend to modify our own memories, recreating situation that never happened, imagining two people meeting that actually never met. That’s also what she tried to do in this project. Mathilde created surreal textile sculptures, covered with prints. The prints on her clothes are a very surrealistic with fictive person mix with her relatives, or people that she knows from Pforzheim for example. They are colorful, saturated abounding, or black and white, glaucous and disturbing: everything that you can derive from our relationship with others. The shape of the garments though, is an indicator of how she feels; it hides the whole body and face, and evokes our inability of truly interacting and communicating with others; which is the paradox and the idea of the all collection.
