Fashion designer and professor at UQAM, winner of the Phyllis Lambert Design Montreal prize, Ying Gao, questions the notion of clothing that we know in relation to urban design, architecture and multimedia. She is inspired by the transformation of the social and urban environment to explore the construction of the garment. Thanks to his creations exhibited in museums and galleries around the world, he is ranked in the Canadian top 40 of Magazine Britannique Wallpaper. For Ying Gao, design is a means of communication, but in a more technological than textile sense. It is based on a sensory technology that gives the garment a playful and participatory value.
Ying Gao wonders at the same time about the state of the individual, in which physical environments are transformed by external interference. Garments function as a fragile protective space. As a witness to profound changes in the world we live in, his work bears a radical critical dimension that goes beyond technological experimentation.
