窄书 Strait Is The Book 2018

蒋志将许多不同种类的出版物的书脊部分切下，贴上金箔，以此制作《窄书》。这一系列作品去掉了书籍的主体内容，却讽刺性地保留了书的“脊梁”。这种创作与一种发生在出版物领域的“被动或主动自我审查/屏蔽”现实有关，可以被视作是体现了一种警世的对抗性手段，也展示了在极为有限的表达空间中创造出突破性表达和阅读的可能性。

Jiang Zhi cuts the spines off from various publications, has these gilded, and creates the Strait is the Book. This series of works discard the content and subject of the publication, yet ironically keeps the “backbone” of the book. This practise is related to active self-censorship abundant in the publishing world, and could be considered an embodiment of a kind of alerting resistance, or a manifestation of possibilities of expressions and readings in a limited space.
