A new short film by a London-based French director is a story of our day-to-day relationship with the very own skin. Exploring a very intimate sensory experience between the body and a garment, Meloide Roulaud gets under the surface and turns it into a poetic tale.
‘Skin seeks to move the conversation from how clothes look to how clothes feel. It enters a voyeuristic realm of stranger’s relationships with the – often overlooked – sensory aspects of garments. The film’s narration is based on testimony with a diversity of women who evoke the pleasure, pain, shimmer and irritation of clothes on every part of ourselves.’
