Pasar Senen Jakarta mempunyai sejarah yang panjang, termasuk didalamnya aspek kesenian. Pada tahun 40an di sekitar Pasar Senen menjadi tempat berkumpulnya para seniman dan mereka dijuluki Seniman Senen. Sekarang Pasar Senen dikenal sebagai pusat penjualan pakaian bekas. Tahun 2014 kemarin gedung Blok 3 Pasar Senen mengalami kebakaran, sehingga mengharuskan para pedagang di blok 3 berpindah ke blok 5 lantai 4. Ditempat berdagangnya yang baru ternyata sepi pengunjung, sehingga banyak pedagang yang berjualan dipinggiran jalan didepan gedung pasar Senen, dan hanya meninggalkan belasan pedagang di tempat tersebut. Di tempat para pedagang mengungsi banyak terdapat dinding-dinding kosong, di tempat itu juga kemudian dibuat studio foto sekaligus juga sebagai ruang pamer. Setelah melakukan pedekatan yang intens kemudian para pedagang diajak untuk melakukan sesi foto menggunakan pakaian bekas yang berelasi dengan backdrop. Pakaian bekas yang berasal dari luar negeri tersebut banyak yang dirancang tidak sesuai dengan kondisi di Indonesia, seperti iklim, kultur, dan kebutuhan. Alih fungsi ruang dan partisipasi pedagang adalah usaha seni untuk mempunyai peran dalam masyarakat tertentu.
