Rather than playing with the “skin” or the volume, they bring out the structure. But not an expressionist structure, which becomes gesture, line or volume. What is brought out, turned upside down as in the gesture of undressing is a skeleton, rational and almost ephemeral; almost technical, almost not meant to be seen.
A seemingly uninteresting design if it weren’t for the action of the overturning itself.
