The boundaries 'between skin and clothing' are fluid – as they are between art and fashion. Both meet in the space where new visual discoveries are made, where materials are tried out and current concepts of beauty are critiqued.

Featuring installations, photographs, videos, and paintings, reconstructed historical interiors, modern design objects, experimental and legendary pieces of furniture, this book is an historical survey of 250 years of domestic history.

18 contemporary photographers from China.
