我们为何生病  |  Why We Get Sick: The New Science of Darwinian Medicine

  是近50年来在生物医学领域里写的很重要的一本书…关于我们的身体为什么这样对创伤和疾病作出反应的有说服力的探索。这个作品是我对此书的再设计和演绎。
  类和他们的敌人——病毒、细菌和寄生虫之间不断的战争,是一场进化史中的军备竞赛。随着医学史的发展,人类不断得以窥视新的敌人的面貌,并且利用关于自然选择的知识使我们永远处于领先地位。同时,医学的探究和进步也需要大胆的想象力和灵感,因此,我们不妨展开想象力去描绘未来敌人的面貌——他们危险而又迷人的姿态。

  It's one of the most important books written in the field of biomedical science in the last 50 years...A persuasive exploration of why our bodies respond the way they do to trauma and disease. This work is my redesign and interpretation of the book.
  The constant war between humans and their enemies -- viruses, bacteria, and parasites -- is an evolutionary arms race. As the history of medicine has progressed, mankind has been able to peer into new enemies and use knowledge of natural selection to keep us forever ahead. At the same time, medical inquiry and progress also require bold imagination and inspiration, so let us use our imaginations to paint the faces of our future enemies -- their dangerous and fascinating poses.

材料:岩彩、贝母、宣纸、丙烯、尼龙、油墨等。

ps:使用了大自然中脆弱的材料手工制做的书籍,每一次翻动会使得书上附着的岩彩、贝母、油墨剥离,我并不在意展出消耗着它的生命,因为我希望她像人类的生命一样,随着时间会流逝,会剥落、会侵蚀,我希望打破边界感,把它变成一个有呼吸、生命、流动着的艺术品。
