55 immagini stampate in quadricromia. Stampe fotografiche e fogli di testo in una scatola d'archivio / 55 fotografie stampate in quadricromia. Elenco delle tavole Stampe e fogli di testo in scatola di cartone pesante. Design: H55. Concept: Zhao Renhui. Cm 34x24. pp. 55. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . In che misura possiamo fidarci della fotografia e della scienza? Robert Zhao Renhui indaga su questi temi nel suo A Guide to the Flora and Fauna of the World, che sembra essere, a un primo sguardo, un autentico catalogo di piante e animali, ma in realtà è interamente fittizio.L'inventario di Renhui apparentemente "documenta" 55 diversi animali, piante e ambienti che sono stati manipolati dall'uomo ma che non sembrano esserlo, ed esamina la miriade di modi in cui gli umani stanno modificando la natura. Incontriamo creature curiose che si sono evolute in modi spesso inaspettati per far fronte al nostro mondo che cambia, compresi rinoceronti con le corna appena visibili e scimmie dipendenti dal cibo distribuito dagli umani. Altri organismi della serie sono prodotti dell'intervento umano, mutazioni progettate per servire vari scopi, dalla ricerca scientifica al desiderio di decorazione, come l'uva gelatinosa artificiale, i pomodori geneticamente modificati e le uova "infrangibili".Tutti gli esseri viventi si adattano costantemente alle varie pressioni che devono affrontare, tra predatori, inquinamento e cambiamenti climatici. Eppure la specie umana è emersa innegabilmente come la principale autrice dei pericoli che minacciano la sopravvivenza di altre forme di vita. "A Guide to the Flora and Fauna of the World" ci ricorda questo fatto, e soprattutto ci invita a mantenere un atteggiamento critico, cauto e ironico nei confronti del "reale".…
