Publication as a novel of the texts originally intended for a performance. The design preserves the original visual language and the spirit of a textile archive-catalogue. All 80 garments used in the performance were photographed and placed alongside their corresponding narratives.
The shopping bags from the purchase of those garments were recycled into new paper, handwritten with fragments from the book, and turned into 80 bookmarks.
