A man Xeroxes his three-piece suit, cuts and edits the photocopies
produced and adjusts them with sticky tape on the body of his friend.
A guy makes an ad hoc mask with pieces of a ventilator. A third
chisels himself a cap out of a solid piece of stone. Individuals
let themselves be sprayed with glue before leaping into a container
full of balls, leave, pebbles...
A man catches a potted plant by the stem as it was falling down
a building, whilst others engage in strange mechanical ballets or
perilous acrobatics using torches, tulips and explosions... Here
is how one covers one's body and here is what and how one uses it
in the robotic, opaque, strange and enigmatic world of Yûchi
Yokoyama.
Through 12 speedy, geometric, sharp tales, New Bodies (after Public
works, Fights, Travel, The Garden)
continues the systematic exploration of the universe of the most
singular graphic designers.
BONUS! Includes FOR YOU and your friends a special paper fold up
model of a car and its costumed and hooded occupants to cut out
fold and glue!
