What is a monster? In ancient Greek, the word "monstre" designates all things strange explicitly as well as divine phenomenon and extraordinary people who cannot be explained. In our world today, our emotions are constantly in a spiral roller coaster between the fear, the inquietude, the anger against all things we have to face everyday, certain things have also become monsters in our eyes. The exhibition, entitled "ARRRGH! Monstres de Mode," is an expression for fashion designers and artists to experiment and interpret what monsters are in their eyes through textures, volumes and colors. In a world where our judgement for the beauty and for the environment have standardized so much in the last ten years, the exhibition questions each and every one of us beyond these physical forms who might have already been hidden in our emotions or in our parallel and cloned selves of the virtual world we are all trapped in like the following video in the exhibition. If you think that you are ready to confront your inner monsters, come and see for yourself before April 7th, 2013.
