Body Emballage
is a collection of originally 30 paper shirts made of disposable
wrappings from Japan, Denmark and North America.
The Body Emballage project made in 1996 was the first collection
Annette Meyer did, using wrapping materials for clothing objects.
The special soft texture of the paper shirts is achieved by
crumpling and ironing it repeatedly. The result is very comfortable
to the touch and to the ear. The visual impression is fragile
and delicate. In spite of the qualities of the material it is
not suitable for mass production as the durability is not unlimited.
This collection was the beginning of a series of experiments
dressing the body in the graphic language of disposable materials.
The paper materials from the 3 countries represented in Body
Emballage was later expanded to include paper and plastic materials
from several other Asian, European and North American countries.
