𝓡𝓪𝓲𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓒𝓸𝓭𝓮𝔁: a slanted dictionary, an intimate object, and a relay of writing compiling the first eight volumes (and blank space) originally published on Railing Codex’s website from 2022 to 2024. Railing Codex is an installation, a community printshop, and a collective dictionary created by Pararailing (Jie Shao, Sixing Xu and Xuecan Ye), their friends, and friends of their friends. Launched in 2022 as a response to the slippage of meaning that marks our post-pandemic world, Railing Codex invites cultural practitioners—artists, curators, writers, poets, scholars, and arts workers—to each contribute a dictionary definition for a word.
