“動物” Moving Thing - A People’s Book

The Moving Thing book was not created with a defined audience in mind. I had an idea, a perspective, a vibrant feeling I couldn’t contain within me, so I went and found a way to share it with the world. 

It was pure improvisation. 

I could have put the idea to paper by myself (thanks to being an all-round designer), yet I followed my gut feeling to invite others to contribute artwork, not expecting what the outcome would be. Whether the artwork would be good or bad, was beyond the point. I simply hoped they would experience the joy I felt when the idea of Moving Thing was born. 

Most of the contributors didn't normally create artwork. Their creativity is mostly applied to commercial practices, not art. Moving Thing was a platform to express their inner child, to put creative ideas to paper, to manifest identities.

The Moving Thing Book Launch was held at Shanghailander on Wuyuan Road, Shanghai on June 8, 2020

A non-profit initiative, all the proceeds of the Moving Thing are donated to animal shelters.
