Facing the imminent collapse of the global environment, humans are beginning to realize that there is no future in trying to understand life in terms of a single generation. Humanity must prepare to replace “I” with “we,” defined as the continuity of life as a subject transcending generations and individuals. This book is an attempt to think graphically about life and the universe. By entrusting our thoughts to the imagination evoked by this series of graphics, or, in other words, to a range of meanings that do not exist in natural language, we can reach out to new speculations that go far beyond language or logic.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A charming but clear-eyed manifesto for a new era of we in the face of ecological collapse This small but substantial pocket-size book is an attempt to think through life and the universe in graphic-design terms. With concise drawings and brief texts, Japanese illustrator and designer Ruida Si quietly shows humanity in the grip of a dawning realisation about its own collectivity. Facing the imminent collapse of the ecosystem, humanity must prepare to replace "I" with "we" - "we" defined in a utopian spirit as a subject transcending generations and individuals. At first glance, the visuals are as simple and clear as those of a children's picture book, but they are the product of Si's extensive and sophisticated knowledge of information, pattern and rhythm, and deliver her message with tremendous clarity and simplicity. Muji art director Kenya Hara, with whom Si studied, provides a foreword. SELLING POINTS: . Ruida Si is a young Japanese designer and illustrator, and a student of Kenya Hara's at Musashino Art University, Tokyo . Small and charming manifesto of b&w drawings positing a world in which collectivity is prioritised over individuality 160 illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
