Rei Nadal

Rei, I Don't Exist

Artist Rei Nadal offers a unique take on 'Fashion Fetish' by curating the SHOWstudio Tumblr for a one-week period from 2-8 April 2012 inclusive. Her work juxtaposes found imagery with phrases and self-portraits - postmodern poetry for the digital age - fuelled in this instance by a selection of objects, cosmetics and fashion items delivered daily to her home, and documented here.
