Hybrid Landscapes

‘Hybrid Landscapes’ is a collaborative Art-Object & Fashion-Archive exhibition, featuring a collection of new works by Celine d’Oultremont, Sofia Benencio and Jacob Walls, accompanied by a curated archival showcase from Known Source.


Hybrid Landscapes marked the first exhibition curated and exhibited by Jacob Walls, extending research developed during his MA in how contemporary objects absorb and translate methodologies originating in fashion. The project explored material innovation, surface treatment, silhouette, construction, and bodily orientation as shared concerns across disciplines.

The exhibition positioned sculptural works alongside archival garments, creating a dialogue between art, design, and fashion as parallel systems of engagement. Whether the body dresses the object or the object structures the body, both operate through intimate negotiations of form, movement, identity, and inhabitation. Hybrid Landscapes proposed fashion not as a separate discipline but as a methodology - one capable of informing contemporary approaches to sculpture, design, and material practice.

Special thanks to curation assistant and event management: Nina Zenhausern for her invaluable support and contribution to the realisation of the exhibition.
