Bárbara Sánchez-Kane
Inspired by society's obsession with luxury and desire—and echoing the seductiveness of Tom Ford's tenure at Gucci—Sánchez-Kane crafts a campaign of display that blurs the line between art that can be worn on a date night. Clothing becomes a fertile ground of exploration; wool, rawhide, bronze, metal, belts, fur, and found objects transformed into fluid forms, perpetually in a state of becoming and unbecoming. This mutable state challenges the viewer to consider their own role in this exchange of desire. Where there is no clear limit of where those the body begins or ends. Questioning whether we inhabit the clothing or if it inhabits us— suggesting a symbiosis where host and parasite are indistinguishable. To draw a speculative transformation of objects that surround us.
Visitors are invited to oscillate between roles—museum-goer, shopper, art spectator. Through this dynamic interplay of material, structure, and display, Sánchez-Kane's work encourages us to reconsider the very nature of objects, their purpose, and their meaning within the context of contemporary life.
