The need to create our clothes and our buildings is for the same reasons: human’s ancient desire for security, protection against external conditions. Both delimit an area within which conditions can be controlled, providing us with a suitable level of comfort. The difference between these two is the size of the created space. Clothes are mostly tightly adhering to the shape of the wearer, in constant and inseparable contact with the body, whereas buildings form a space with their boundaries, the body is separated from the object, the house provides a protected space for action. With our installation, we attempt to blur this difference and create an existence that is situated on the boundary of clothes and house, it is on us and we are in it at the same time. A space that we can wear or a garment that can provide space.
