summary
Inviting readers to explore the process of form-making through art, this book delves into how artists transform events and objects into narratives that evoke moments in history. The curatorial essay examines the concept of "figuring" — embodying art and its significance in the world. Unfolding across various episodes, natural elements become conduits for grasping social forms. From a fruit tree sculpted into its own likeness to a fire birthing a metropolis, the essay examines the intricate relationship between art and society.
