"Goosebumps" is a series of different installations composed of one or more walled sweatshirts activated in a random mode simulating a muscle spasm. These emptied bodies are flapping in an attempt to react and then return to a state of immobility evoking a kind of danse macabre in a shiver between pleasure and despair.
