NIKICIO:PROJECT04 RE-

RE- : a prefix, occurring originally in loanwords from Latin, used with the meaning “again” or “again and again” to indicate repetition, or with the meaning “back” or “backward” to indicate withdrawal or backward motion.

RE- is the fourth project of Nikicio, remaking the once ever popular paper dress during the 1960′s. Paper clothes were the epitome of the “throwaway” culture of the 60′s, it was an experimental fashion. Paper clothing originally appeared in Australia in 1967 but consumers were skeptical about the quality and functionality of these paper pieces. Now in 2010, Nikicio recreates the culture by combining the latest technology in paper and the best artworks by five photographers from both Indonesia and Singapore.
