SkinBag creates seamless, realistic-looking yet fake, human skin that is worn like a catsuit.

And that is precisely the desired effect behind Goulet’s enterprise: to create a shock to the system and to make us question our relationship to ourselves. What? Exactly.

SkinBag invites us to an exploration of ourselves, our environment, and accompanies us to our mutation: painful passage of the individual egocentré a collective identity and relational optimization.
