Repetition and Difference - A Catalog of Influences

"Everything reacts on everything else, and everything resembles everything else (resemblance of the diverse with itself)" (Gilles Deleuze).
--
Life is full of repetition, none of which are the same. Repetition and difference make up our lives. This book includes a hundred photos, which were taken in places around the world. Although they were taken in different places, resemblances can still be found among them. Based on the theme of the book, which is repetition and difference, and the feature of screen printing, which is repeating the same movements and producing different outcomes, the book was screen printed and bound by hand.

Repetition composes the world. Every difference of it makes the world more dynamic and vivid.​​​​​​​
生活充满循环往复,但从不重复。重复与差异组成着我们的生活。本书收录了一百张拍摄于各地的照片。虽然拍摄于不同的地方,但都可以从中找到相似的联系。基于重复与差异的主题,和丝网印刷重复着同样的印刷动作,但每一次得出的结果都不一样的特征,本书采用丝网印刷的方式并手工缝制而成。

重复构成整个世界,每一个重复元素的差异让这个世界更加多变有活力。
Bound by hand. Every stitch represents my passion for crafting from the inside.
Life is full of repetition, none of which are the same.
From different angles, there are different views.
Repetition and Difference, a catalog of influences.
According to the concept, repetition and cycles, the book was designed as a cube.
It is a cube when it is closed and a cylinder when it is opened.
根据书中循环往复的概念,决定采用正方体(Cube)的形式。
合起来是小小的正方体,展开是循环的圆柱体。
