THE BALLAD OF THE FORGOTTEN HARLEQUINS
The forgotten harlequins wander in the shadows of a stage that no longer exists. Once the dazzling figures of the show, they are now mere echoes dressed in elegance and mystery, suspended between memory and oblivion. Their existence dissolves in shattered reflections, their gestures fade like inaudible whispers. Yet they persist, somewhere between dream and reminiscence, in an in-between world where beauty has not yet given way to nothingness.
Through this series, fashion becomes a spectral language, a game of appearances where each silhouette oscillates between theatricality and disappearance. Shapes metamorphose under the effect of light, colours draw sharp contrasts, and looks seem to question an audience that will never come. Who were they? What remains of them? Does elegance survive oblivion, or is it just a mirage destined to disappear as soon as the lights go out?
In this visual ballad, light sculpts timeless figures, inspired by surrealism and the masks of the theatre. Each image becomes an unfinished scene, a silent enigma in which fashion asserts itself as a memory in mutation. The material itself seems to vacillate between tangibility and illusion, giving the bodies a spectral strangeness, as if their presence were only a last glimmer before final oblivion.
Who remembers the forgotten harlequins? Perhaps they live on only in the eyes of those who care about them.
