XEROXED: wearable pages, readable garments aims to re-activate an archive of countercultural paper material by translating it onto fabrics and garments. The tridimensionalization of the printed pages on bodies, allows the archive to re-circulate and be re-interpreted by a new, contemporary audience. The garment becomes a publishing platform.
The material utilized comes from a private archive belonging to my family that first started to be kept in 1974 and went on growing until the end of 2001 when it was put on hold. In 2016 I took the archive in hand and tried to reconstruct it, adding missing items and new acquisitions. The collection, which covers the period from the second half of the 1960s until the early 2000s, comprises flyers, fanzines, booklets, posters, and publications linked to underground culture in Italy and elsewhere.
