Le petit trianon

Membrane by Naomi Sato and Brenna Kanski addresses the relationship of the body to it’s surrounding architecture. Both artists explore how our tactile senses provide the necessary information to understand the body. it is through touch and its complex relationship to space and place that we come to recognize body, touch is experienced over our entire surface. Caresses, bumps, grazes, and embraces all help to shape our identity. We recognize our difference through the body’s reaction to the spaces and places we move through and our location within specific environments sets the terms of this interaction
