XEROXED: wearable pages, readable garments is a publishing platform that investigates the interplay between body, garment, and written publication through the reconfiguration of paper material into wearable garments. For its Edition 001- Against boredom: delirious is beautiful, XEROXED collaborated with the Primo Moroni Archive in Milan, a non-institutional archive hosting one of the largest collections of Italian leftist underground materials, spanning from the late 1970s to present day. This first edition was created with the intention of starting a process that would spread and transform Primo Moroni’s material. It has been the generating root of new editorial contents that revisit the archive. Through the conceptual and material analysis of XEROXED’s Edition 001, this study demonstrates how publishing through clothing allowed the Primo Moroni archival material to be reactivated, reaching a broader and more diverse audience, making it public via a form of embodied communication.

Abstract
XEROXED: wearable pages, readable garments is a publishing platform that investigates the interplay between body, garment, and written publication through the reconfiguration of paper material into wearable garments. For its Edition 001- Against boredom: delirious is beautiful, XEROXED collaborated with the Primo Moroni Archive in Milan, a non-institutional archive hosting one of the largest collections of Italian leftist underground materials, spanning from the late 1970s to present day. This first edition was created with the intention of starting a process that would spread and transform Primo Moroni’s material. It has been the generating root of new editorial contents that revisit the archive. Through the conceptual and material analysis of XEROXED’s Edition 001, this study demonstrates how publishing through clothing allowed the Primo Moroni archival material to be reactivated, reaching a broader and more diverse audience, making it public via a form of embodied communication.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
