Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. To what extent can we trust photography and science? Robert Zhao Renhui explores these questions in A Guide to the Flora and Fauna of the World, which appears to be an authentic catalogue of plants and animals but is in fact entirely fictitious. Renhui's guide ostensibly "documents" 55 diffe…rent animals, plants and environments that have been manipulated by man but do not appear to be, and examines the myriad ways in which humans are altering nature. Here are curious creatures that have evolved in often unexpected ways to cope with our changing world, including rhinoceroses with barely visible horns and monkeys dependent on food handed out by humans. Other organisms in the series are the products of human intervention, mutations engineered to serve various purposes from scientific research to the desire for ornamentation, such as man-made gelatin grapes, genetically modified tomatoes and "unbreakable" eggs. All living things constantly adapt to the various pressures they face including predators, pollution and environmental change. Yet the human species has undeniably emerged as the main perpetrator of the dangers that threaten the survival of other life forms. A Guide to the Flora and Fauna of the World reminds us of this fact, and above all to retain a critical, cautious and ironic attitude to the "real." Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

loose_leaf. Condition: As New. Prima edizione (First Edition). 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". Book.
