A project by Elizabeth Diller (of Diller Scofidio + Renfro) whereby the efficiency of ironing was ignored and instead, intricate folding and pressing techniques were used to create shirts which could deliberately not be easily stored or packaged. This was intended as a comment on the heavily engineered process of pressing shirts to be packed for sale in shops and stacked on shelves, a process which had been designed to be the most economical as possible.
I also see it as expression of how domestic labour could be utilised as a form of protest against the existing patriarchal norms of the dwelling. If protests such as this were adopted by all those carrying out domestic labour, it could have a significant impact on other forms of labour and perhaps bring them to a temporary standstill, thus emphasising importance of the domestic realm in supporting economic output as a whole.
