Conversamos con Bárbara Fonte sobre los gestos, imágenes y experiencias que atraviesan su práctica artística. Nacida en Braga en 1981 y formada en la Facultad de Bellas Artes de la Universidad de Oporto, la artista portuguesa desarrolla un trabajo que se mueve entre la performance, el dibujo, la fotografía, el video y la instalación.

Thinking about clothing beyond the final result means paying attention to everything that usually stays out of sight: the processes, the techniques and, above all, the hands that make each garment possible. This is the premise behind Human Touch, the brand founded in 2023 by Juliet Seger-Banks and Christina Albrecht. Based between Berlin and New York, the project aims to make visible something the fashion industry often leaves in the background: the human labor behind clothes.

There is something deeply compelling about dedicating so much design attention to one of the most overlooked spaces in the city: the public restroom. A place we all use—or try to ignore—but rarely think about with any real care. This gesture, as simple as it is radical, is the starting point of THE TOKYO TOILET, a project that shows how even the most ordinary spaces can transform the way we inhabit a city.
