Artwork Spotlight: Claudia Casarino, "Sin Titulo"

#MondayArtworkSpotlight: Claudia Casarino (@casarina) is best-known for her installations that feature delicate, often transparent garments hung in multiples. In Sin Titulo, currently on display in the exhibition "Inside Out: Seeing Through Clothing," Casarino presents a series of suspended tulle dresses, each designed to fit her own body.

When lit from above, each individual dress imprints a spectral double on the wall behind it. For Casarino, tulle acts as an important material for exploring social issues related to the body and women’s experiences. The artist writes, “For me, its transparency is a metaphor of clothing itself. It covers the body but reveals other things. With tulle, the gaze transcends the garment.”
