看不见的城市的图形提喻

Graphic Synecdoche of Invisible Cities

《看不见的城市的图形提喻》是 Pocca 在参加 2021 年 Unfold 上海艺术书展期间呈现的自发项目。源于意大利作家卡尔维诺的《看不见的城市》中作者在内容与章节设计上毫无保留的对于结构主义和符号学的趣味，我们从原著故事中马可波罗向忽必烈介绍的旅途中所见的 55 座城池（事实上完全是作者想象出的或在过去或在未来的虚构景象）的故事中分别提取关键意象，从而设计出对应55座城池的 55 个图腾或密匙一样的符号，作为一种通过图形与符号而进行的提喻，集合而成了这本仅有 70mm 见方的迷你书。所有的故事读来像是由梦境的碎片堆叠而成，像谜。以此回应那个看不见的纷繁复杂又令人心动的存在于过去或未来的世界。读者需要进入词与物、名字与真实的对应和隐喻之中穿梭漫游，被那些图像的碎片带着可能会找到出口，抑或不能，通往自己的精神之中的一片世界……

The key images are extracted from the original story of the 55 cities (in fact entirely imaginary scenes of the author's imagination, either in the past or in the future) that Marco Polo introduces to Kublai during his journey, we designed 55 totems or key-like symbols corresponding to the 55 cities in which they are assembled as a kind of metaphor through graphics and symbols in this mini-book, which is only 70mm x 70mm. All the stories read like pieces of dreams stacked up, like mysteries. In response to the unseen complexity and tantalizing presence of a world in the past or in the future. The reader needs to enter into the correspondence and metaphor of words and objects, names and realities, and be carried by the fragments of images that may or may not find their way to the exit, to a world in their own spirit ......
