Papercutting is a traditional Chinese art going back 2,000 years. The colored, intricately cut papers are used as a storytelling medium in festivities, for prayers, and as everyday decoration.
The blue scarf takes its motif from a papercut created by Ai Weiwei as part of his Papercut Portfolio, published by TASCHEN in 2019: Haircut, reflecting on his participation in documenta XII in Kassel 2007, when he made it possible for 1,001 Chinese compatriots to travel to the German city.
