The feeling of religiousness is even more obvious in Voile. Shapes, sometimes close to the anatomic ones, moulded or masked behind a white matter which is gradually identified with the plastic, reveal across the photographs of this series clues, industrial materials. This work may be understood as an homage to Christo. However, while the latter limits his aesthetics to the literariness of the packaging, seeing the art as a “sociological relay” , Iseult Labote’s packaging becomes a metaphor for the fog, and thus, her work becomes a reaffirmation of the strength of metaphorical evocation.
