Footnotes

Le plissé est une véritable marque de fabrique et détermine la majorité de l'oeuvre picturale et sculpturale d'Isabelle de Borchgrave. Inspirée par le tissu plissé de Mariano Fortuny (1871-1949, textile designer), synonyme d'élégance, de luxe et de sensualité au début des années 1900, la série de plissés d'Isabelle de Borchgrave s'empare des codes de cette technique et crée des anamorphes sur papier plat afin révéler un résultat modifié par la fronce du papier.

Plooien zijn een echt handelsmerk en bepalend voor het merendeel van Isabelle de Borchgrave's picturale en sculpturale werk. Geïnspireerd door de geplooide stof van Mariano Fortuny (1871-1949, textielontwerper), die begin 1900 synoniem stond voor elegantie, luxe en sensualiteit, volgt Isabelle de Borchgrave voor haar plooienserie de codes van deze techniek en creëert anamorfen op vlak papier, waardoor het resultaat wordt aangepast door de manier waarop het papier wordt geplooid.

Pleating is a true hallmark and defines the majority of Isabelle de Borchgrave's pictorial and sculptural work.
Inspired by the pleated fabric of Mariano Fortuny (1871–1949, textile designer)—a symbol of elegance, luxury, and sensuality in the early 1900s—Isabelle de Borchgrave's pleated series adopts the codes of this technique and creates anamorphic effects on flat paper, revealing a result transformed by the gathered folds of the material.
