Mondofragile原義是「脆弱的世界」,在第一集中,二十四位插畫家以源自日本文化的單純呈現當代日本紛雜繽紛的風貌,出版之後極受歡迎。第二集承續了第一集的特色,在一七六頁的篇幅中,有四百張插畫,走的是日本與西方文化有所交集的路線,尋求兩者之間的平衡,也有日本運用色彩的獨特取徑,賦予日常生活的空間、姿態以新的意義。
Mondofragile 2 is a massive compilation of images that transcend the differences between Japanese and Western cultures and provide visual insight into the special approach the Japanese take to colour.
These illustrations are greatly influenced by the simplicity of intuition that is a fundamental to Japanese culture. It’s an influence that gives new meaning to mundane elements in life such as space, gesture and routine activities.
Mondofragile 2 provides inspiration to all those involved in fashion illustration, design or figurative art.
