1/6thISM by Zuno... ^L^






Hi all,
I'm humbled to introduce the new release of my book "1/6thISM - v.1. The Last ...".
As you may know, I have been customizing "The Last" series for 3 years.
Recently, it has been published by Blurb Inc. in San Francisco.
It's 84 pages including the covers and full color photos.
I'm really honored to publish my first book.
And I hope to be a small bridge between 1/6th scale world and people around the world through this book.
I hope you like it.
Thanks,
Zuno... ^L^
----------------------------
1/6thism
A world scaled down to one sixth of its size,
That’s where I seek to realize the aspiration of mankind.
The approach towards the world that cannot yet be seen or touched,
Towards the desire to possess that which cannot be possessed,
This is what I seek to realize in this condensed world.
I try to craft the most human-like skin, form and operation. By creating lifelike expression and posture, as if to emulate God’s breathing of life into Adam, I seek to attain the complete analog desired by humans.
The values of direct observation, as well as those of touch and possession, are all being surpassed in this condensed world.
For us humans who seek possessions for the satisfaction of the senses, or, the completion of the analog, the effort to provide such minute yet detailed "1/6" world is of great significance, as it serves as a channel through which everyone of all age, race and gender can transport across time and space to touch and possess to their satisfaction.
The act of possessing is a privilege unique to humans and is a completion of human nature.
Realization of the perfect analog and of the satisfaction of the five senses,
Our human quest for 'value' is being gradually accomplished in the condensed world through the work of countless “1/6 figure artists” across the world.
I call this "1/6thism".
Zuno

Re: 1/6thISM by Zuno... ^L^
Glad you've done it, Zuno, your work deserves the exposure. I'm with your "A world scaled down to one sixth of its size" concept, but could we keep the planet the same size and just reduce the size of the people?
