„Ungenießbare Zeichnungen“ is a series of visual traces by artist Shin Kudo. „Ungenießbar“ means „Unenjoyable“ in German, which is a term that is used to describe a certain category of fungi, considered not edible but also not poisonous. What is enjoyable and what is not? For whom should it be enjoyable?
Spores, Blood vessels, nature energy, Alien….Shin Kudo’s intuitive drawing triggers our feelings between our daily world and the world that we often overlooked - The world full of life circling and endless streaming.
The book contains 24 drawings from the “∞” series and the spore print series “The Unknown Friends”, following with an interview conversation with the artist.
Ungenießbare Zeichnungen直譯為「無法享受的素描」，「Ungenießbar : 無法享受」是在德國野菇圖鑑中的一種分類，指沒有劇毒但是不建議食用的蘑菇。究竟什麼是可以享受的，而什麼無法？對於「誰」來說是享受的？ 孢子、神經及血管、大自然的能量、外星生命....透過這些形象，工藤伸的紙上作品喚起了我們在日常生活中常常忽略的低鳴：一個生生不息、富滿生命力、不斷湧動的大千世界。
本書包含了24張色鉛筆繪製的「♾」無限系列，以及孢子轉印的作品「未知的朋友」，書末附錄一段藝術家的訪談（中、英、日三語），全書由Riso孔版印刷印製。
