Trocadero Projects acknowledges the Boon Wurrung and Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation as the traditional owners and custodians of the land on which we operate.
We offer our respects to Elders of these traditional lands both past and present, and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.

Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

Sophie Cochrane | Dress is skin is house is body is living

Gallery 2
Opening night: Wednesday 24 February, 6pm – 8pm

‘Dress Is Skin Is House Is Body Is Living’ seeks to reimagine housing as assemblages of bodies. In asking what the difference between a house and a home is, it questions the structure and materials - bricks, cement - typically associated with houses. Dress responds to being away from home, feelings of closeness and of being far away. Through the close crop focusing on the dressing rather than identities, Dress seeks to document a Deleuzian ‘becoming’. Be- coming-together, becoming-house, becoming-home.
