BIO //
Diane Esnault is a French textile designer, artist and craftivist living in Berlin. She works on versatile textile-based projects for costume design, scenography, vexillography and large scale fabric installations. Over the years, she developed long term collaborations with different cross-disciplinary artists, such as Claudia Hill, Raul Walch & Tianzhuo Chen AKA Asian Dope Boys.
Her textile paintings are vivid colourful patchworks revitalising second-hand clothes and thrifted fabrics. Her passion for fashion and photography drove her also into the world of Styling and Upcycled Clothing.
Being fascinated by graphies in all their forms, from Fabienne Verdier’s calligraphies to the Graffiti’s energy and Lettrism, Diane Esnault merges text and fabric in a tactile storytelling, quilting and embroidering personal writing from her own diary to pop or rap songs lyrics.
Without a doubt, she fully embraces the craftivism practice, drifting domestic artistry into a gentle protest, therefore evolving into Vestimental Activism. Indeed she infuses feminist claims, ANTIFA aesthetic codes und leftist slogans into her softly acid contemporary coat of arms and stained-glass inspired fiber art.
Diane has developed a close relationship with the European music scene by crafting oriflammes and textile scenographies for musicians such as Petra Hermanova, BORA, Uxile, Jungstötter and Aïsha Devi.
Esnault’s works as been shown in numerous institutions such as Volksbühne Berlin, Hebbel Am Ufer Berlin, MOLT Galerie, Trauma Bar und Kino, Silent Green, Haus der Statistik, Kyoto Experiment Festival, Sonar Festival Barcelona & Tiroler Künstler:innenschaft, Innsbruck, Österreich.
