Step into the world of Cacaform Birds - a world that exists a
half-pace to one side of our own, at the confluence of imagination,
art and reality. Within these pages we meet the 'Glowerspite'
(often dozes in a supine position; converts its tail to a head when
startled) and the 'Mare-away' (who carries a small black troll on
its back and rouses dreamers from night terrors), along with many
more: a fantastical aviary brought to life by Zhu Yingchun's art.
The book contains three parts, the first containing doctored
photographs that show these birds interacting with sepia
cityscapes, alternately goggled at and overlooked by the
passers-by. The second introduces us to each individual species
through poetic verse, while the third section must be carefully
unsealed by the reader in order to reveal how the Cacaform Birds
came into being. A blend of bestiary, spotter's guide and poetic
anthology, this book demonstrates that art and amusement can be
found everywhere, if you only care to look.
