シンガポールを拠点に活動するアトリエ・ホコ(Atelier HOKO)が手がける出版シリーズ『Science of the Secondary』。本シリーズは、りんごやコップ、時計といった、私たちの日常生活に存在するごく身近な事物や現象に焦点を当て、人間とそれらとの関係性を細やかに観察し、探求するプロジェクトです。第14号のテーマは「Tシャツ」。日本語訳冊子が付属します。

‘Science of the Secondary: Rubbish’ is the thirteenth edition in the series of ongoing research conceived and developed by Atelier HOKO.
Atelier HOKO (2002) is an independent creative practice that focuses on the study of the growing disengagement between people, things and space. The atelier hopes to cultivate in people, an open-ness and ability to un-know, bringing about a heightened curiosity towards all phenomena by taking a fresh look at reality. Founded by Alvin Ho and Clara Koh.
