Transcribing hundreds of mass-produced garments manufactured in China and circulating around the world, 'Endless Garment' stitches together the many aphorisms, mistranslations, marketing slogans and textual fragments that adorn garments into a single unfolding poem.'Shanzhai' is the Chinese word for counterfeit or copy. The term, literally meaning “mountain hamlet,” derives from a Song Dynasty tale about rebel bandits who stockpile goods stolen from the imperial centre to share with people on its margins, finding new ways to relate to property, authorship and each other. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9781945711244.
