New Bodies

新体

Shin Karada

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!
