What if this is our last ball ?

During the partnership with the manufacturer Hartmann Euro TF, I was commissioned to create a textile pattern inspired by the indiennes, cotton fabrics imported from India that became a hit in Europe during the 17th century.
Drawing inspiration from the scenes in toile de Jouy, I decided to create a contemporary interpretaiton with a social message of survival of dance and of Queerness.
Employing the codes of toile de Jouy, I reemployed the codes of the Toile de Jouy with LGBTQIA+ iconography, color variations and symbols.
Pushing the boundaries of immersiveness, I took my design and created a panoramic wallpaper depicting this dance fever. It also became an installation that acted as a refuge of dance mania, for the liberation of bodies, gender expression.
Within this sanctuary, you’ll encounter dancers in mythological costumes. Acting as extensions of the characters in the panoramic, they use garnments crafted with different textile approaches, allowing them to become queer creatures, embodying a new queer mythology.
