A book without words, recounting a day in the life of an office worker, told completely in the symbols, icons, and logos of modern life.
Xu Bing is an artist whose work profoundly engages with language, words, and text, and how these elements shape our understanding of the world. His artistic practice critically examines the interplay between diverse cultures and systems of communication. Through his often expansive installations and printmaking, he challenges established meanings and invites contemplation on the nature of sense itself. His contributions are significant, bridging cultural and linguistic divides with thought-provoking creations.
