La Doublure*. Die Unterseite der Oberseite
La Doublure*. Die Unterseite der Oberseite
Protected from indiscreet glances, two women measure each other in their tailor's corner. Loosely based on Burda, they measure body parts and stage space and lose themselves in the folds of a common skin. They remove shells and turn the inside out. The rough, the wild, the untidy come to light, but also the delicate and fragile.
*Doublure has two meanings in French: In tailoring, it is the term for the fine lining fabric in jackets, pants and skirts; in film and theater, it is the term for the understudy of a role.
