Book from the Ground:from point to point / Bing, Xu., 2013

Item

Identifier: CC-58554-10001779

Scope and Contents

Following his classic work Book from the Sky", world-renowned Chineses artist Xu Bing presents a new graphic novel - one composed entirely of symbols and icons. Xu Bing spent seven years gathering materials, experimenting, revising, and arranging thousands of pictograms to construct this narrative. The result is a readable story without words recording 24 hours in the day of the life of a typical urban white-collar worker. Using an exclusively visual language, the text could be published anywhere without translation: anyone with experience in contemporary life can read it." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

[I] made most of the boxes and did all of the bindery work. "Clif's text and images tell a tale of an end-of-millennial apocalyptic journey into the depths of hell. When the pages are flipped over at the end of the book, it forms a downward spiral that is very reminiscent of the circles of Dante's Inferno.
