This award-winning contemporary art book is made completely from
the perspective and language of bugs, from the front page to the
final chapter, with no human writing and text, only the "writing"
of bugs. Inspired by the marks left behind by a cicada walking
across his sketchbook, contemporary artist Zhu Yingchun placed
boards and "ink ponds" of dark-coloured vegetable juices in his
garden for the bugs to crawl through. The resulting marks, were
thousands of twisted characters, each with a charm of its own - the
language of the bugs. The accompanying booklet explains the
artist's concept and QR code links the reader to a video of the
process. "The bugs seem insignificant, but their strokes are
beautiful," says Zhu Yingchun. "Art is not just those pieces
hanging on walls and placed in exhibition halls. Everything in the
world, including every life in nature, has the power to create
beauty, and art is all around us.
