Arise, you wretched
of the earth — and off we go
in Sunday clothes

Moncler is an oil painting. A figure entirely dressed in a padded suit, face hidden, stands in an empty space with one arm raised.

The title refers to a brand of mountain clothing. Sébastien Bonin sets today's equipment against the memory of mountain life, and asks what becomes of traditions when they pass through fashion and industry.
