Folds

We are surrounded by folds: in the fashion field, on our bodies, in basic DIY techniques, and in many other areas of life. From a perspective embracing cultural anthropology and the history of design, culture, art, and ideas, the present publication explores the multidimensional nature of this universal phenomenon. Based on the exhibition of the same name in the MAK - Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna, the catalog offers intriguing insights into the nature of folds. Presenting a chronologically, spatially, and materially heterogeneous selection of objects from east and west, this book invites its readers to embark on an intellectual and cultural voyage of discovery. Edited by and with text from Lilli Hollein, Mio Wakita-Elis.
