Installation
The tarpaulin that visitors discover while reclining on sofas is based on the principle of the large trompe-l’oeil cover placed on monuments undergoing renovation. These simulacra offer a phantasmal vision of a place. A further ghostly presence arises from the sound of a volleyball team’s footsteps from a match played several years ago. Here Martin Margiela erects a monument to transience, to the traces of visible and invisible ghosts that contribute to our experience of the world.
