Every Word was Once an Animal- T is for tiger
This publication is part of a bigger research on how graphic design can contribute to Animal Studies, it aims to question the multiple identities human assigned to the animal. It take tiger as case study to experiment on format and how words and images work together to create space for the reader to create different narratives.
Every Word Was Once An Animal 為探討人類與動物之間的關係的系列刊物。 第一期 T is for Tiger 以老虎作為主題，集結了各種以老虎為靈感而產生的物品、圖像及文學作品，並透過文字與圖像的錯置以及翻閱方式去引發讀者思考人類如何利用文字去塑造動物的各種形象並反思現實中動物瀕臨絕種的原因。
“Every word was once an Animal” is taken from the opening line of Ben Marcus‘s The Age of Wire and String 5, which is a work of experimental fiction in the 1990s that abandons conventions of plot and dialogue, new definitions and explanations. The project also aims to create an experimental space through graphic design regarding the issue of animals rights.
Through folding, the publication can be read in three ways. Allowing the reader to receive different narratives and develop their own understanding of the content.
