A uniform brings the body into a system of work. Walking in the Muddy Lane follows it between two scales: the intimacy of cloth, marked by wear and repair, and the wider structures of labour and authority. In Jean Genet’s writing, signs of authority can become objects of desire; the exhibition explores that overlap. A uniform assigns a role to the body and makes it legible to others, yet it can also serve as a disguise or become a surface for fantasy and misrecognition.

Tools hang on the walls; textile silhouettes and wooden beams occupy the space. Together they form permeable thresholds between the implements of labour and the bodies that use them.
