The uniform is a regulated and contractual garment, a profound marker of social class in the work hierarchy. The wardrobe is a collection of hand-made work uniforms. For the design of each uniform, I use a material that draws directly on the tools of the trade. By diverting the work tool, I question its function and utility. This project questions the status of the modern worker, his alienation and invisibility, using his clothing as a referent and symbolic object. To deal with this subject I decided to reproduce these processes of subordination by creating a body of work that would take a long time to produce. I set to work, carrying out a task that calls for repetitive gestures, a way of breaking down and counterfeiting the temporality of work.
