The Whale Book by Jun Wang
In summer 2013, a humpback whale was spotted floating and sleeping in Inside Passage, Alaska. As it sleeps, scientists found that it breathes roughly every three minutes, which differs from the sleeping pattern of humans. Jun was fascinated by the whale’s biological clock, and human's attempt to study other creatures using a self-centred method by comparing the others against themselves.
A set of prints was created as hand-drawn combined into a book as a fake documentation indicating the whale's ‘breath moments’.
Edition of 30
Risograph, digital print and handdrawn
---------------------
2003年夏天，科学家们在阿拉斯加的内湾航道观测到一只睡觉的座头鲸，它慢慢地呼吸，在水面上浮浮沉沉。这本风琴书以抽象的形式描绘了jun对鲸鱼梦境的想象：一个连续的、多变的、深沉的梦，我们无法得知它梦见什么，也无法想象梦有多少种可能。为了给这份阅读体验提供更多“根据”，这个出版物还包括了一个小小的（伪）archive，其中包括心跳记录、观测记录，和一张出没地的印刷幻灯片。
