DescriptionGarcin studied BA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins. His work addresses issues in contemporary society with homour and playfulness. He suggests that we are all in disguise, all endorsing a role in a vast social ensemble. Our acts, habits and vision of the world are determined without being necessarily conscious of it. He uses cloth and accessories as signs depicting social positions to reflect back on society’s own oddity, its own alienation with itself.
