The exhibition delves into the proximity between art's ready-made and fashion's ready-to-wear, provoking viewers to reevaluate art, consumer culture, and contemporary society through a complex reflection. The immersive show covers major themes in Fleury's practice, leaving viewers oscillating between fascination and criticism. The exhibition includes iconic pieces alongside new works, emphasizing the convergence of art and fashion.
