Camo Mania: New disruptive patterns in design
Softcover | 19.05 x 2.29 x 25.15 cm | 256 pp

Camo Mania explores the how artists and designers redefine and reify the impacts of camouflage. Through experimentation with visual contrasts, imagery, composition, colour and shape, the once limited function of these patterns become artistic tools.
Originally discovered in the fabric of wartime uniforms and intended to abstract the shapes and colours found in nature, camouflage clothing secured the powerful symbols of solidarity, patriotism and masculinity. However, today, camouflage is much more than just that. Dislodged from its historical context and appropriated by art, design and fashion, it has proven to reveal more than conceal.
