內容簡介
內容簡介 ●A unique and playful new project from the mind behind The Language of Bugs●Originally bound with a 'secret' sealed third chapter, the book itself is a work of art●Encourages us to find inspiration in every aspect of modern-day lifeStep 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.
