Six volumes of Xia Yu's poetry plus one

The Surface Sifted by Language: Six Poems by Xia Yu +1
I envisioned a minimalist, minimalist set of books, their contents shimmering and ethereal. The packaging mimics a compressed biscuit, with the vacuum shrink film confining seven books within a fist. This reminded me of Joseph Beuys's 1959 work, "An Inaccessible Workshop." If you don't want to damage the film, it becomes a "book of poems that don't need to be read," an installation.
You can read pirated copies of three books for 100 yuan, download electronic files full of errors, and be satisfied with the fragments in countless Weibo posts; maybe you are also willing to reluctantly read the traditional Chinese version.
But if you open it, it becomes a collection of poems that records all your reading; it collects fingerprints, the slight dampness of your palms, and changes shape according to the pressure of your hands. One day, it may fall like a seasonal leaf (better not) (probably not). Soft sculpture.
If you open it, don't expect it to return to its original state. The price of seven whole-grain biscuits is 233.333333 (100÷3×7). This is the inspiration given by the pirates. The pirated price = the anti-piracy price. The original scene allows the copy to have its own scene, and the copied scene also makes the original eager to restore its own scene.
50g industrial paper is thin and tough, and the saddle stitching is wild and firm.
I hope you like it.
