内容简介：

有史以来第一本介绍埃塞俄比亚艺术家Elias Sime作品的专著。本书重点介绍了艺术家过去十年的作品，其中大部分是名为 "走钢丝 "的系列作品。重新利用回收的电子元件，如电路和键盘，Sime将技术进步的副产品——垃圾纳入其中，并指出了可持续发展的紧迫性。由此产生的抽象作品参考了景观和人物以及埃塞俄比亚的传统纺织品。"走钢丝"指的是技术的进步与它对环境的有害影响之间不稳定的平衡。

A first-ever monograph featuring the work of the Ethiopian artist Elias Sime. This book highlights the artist's work from the last decade, much of which comprises the series entitled "Tightrope." Repurposing salvaged electronic components, such as circuits and keyboards, Sime incorporates the refuse that are the byproducts of technological advancement, and points to the urgency of sustainability. The resulting abstractions reference landscape and the figure as well as traditional Ethiopian textiles. "Tightrope" refers to the precarious balance between the progress technology has made possible and its detrimental impact on the environment.
