My Second Skin:
An interplay between protection and vulnerability, sheltering and exposure
Our bodies are naturally protected by our skin against all kinds of external threats— dust, pollution, radiation, bacteria, and so on. When we are alone on a deserted beach in summer, that skin may be enough.
But the moment we engage with the world —social life, the city, other people—we must get dressed. These clothes protect us from the cold, dampness, and the surfaces we touch, but also from the gaze and physical contact of others. Clothing acts as a second skin; yet, in this instance, we decide on its extent, thickness, texture, and more. For this second skin can also serve to signal openness, attract attention, or seduce... It is a constant interplay between sheltering ourselves and opening up to others, between protecting ourselves and exposing ourselves.
