Exploring the link between artistic expression and intellectual freedom, this graphic memoir by Ai Weiwei uses the Chinese zodiac as a framework. Through stunning illustrations and profound reflections, the legendary artist delves into themes of creativity and resistance, offering insights into the importance of voice and individuality in a constrained society.

In this beautifully illustrated graphic memoir, legendary artist Ai Weiwei explores the connection between artistic expression and intellectual freedom through the Chinese zodiac. As a child in exile during the Cultural Revolution, Ai Weiwei had limited reading material, relying on government-approved comic books. Despite their political propaganda, he was captivated by the artists' ability to convey thoughts on art and humanity through graphic storytelling. Now, alongside Italian comic artist Gianluca Costantini, Ai Weiwei presents his first graphic memoir. Inspired by the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac and their associated traits, Ai Weiwei weaves together ancient Chinese folklore with personal stories from his life, family, and career. The narrative fluidly shifts through time, reflecting memory and our relationship to it. As readers explore the beautifully illustrated pages, they will uncover not only Ai Weiwei's personal history and the sociopolitical context of his art but also a philosophical inquiry into self-discovery through art and freedom of expression. Contemplative and political, this memoir invites readers to return repeatedly to Ai Weiwei's reflections on art, time, and our shared humanity.

Kniha nejslavnějšího čínského umělce současnosti daleko přesahuje běžný memoár. Vyprávění začíná dlouho předtím, než Aj Wej-Wej přišel na svět. Příběhy Ajova otce, Mao Ce-Tungova blízkého spolupracovníka a ceněného lyrického básníka Aj Čchinga a samotného Wej-Weje se odehrává na širokém plátně čínské historie poslední stovky let, v kulisách dějinných otřesů a vzájemně se zrcadlí. Stejně jako otec odchází v mládí za uměleckou inspirací do Paříže, volí syn ve svých čtyřiadvaceti letech únik před čínskou realitou do Spojených státu, setkává se s Allenem Ginsbergem a objevuje Andyho Warhola. Podobně jako Aj Čching sdílel za Kulturní revoluce ve vyhnanství pohnutý osud levicové avantgardy, Aj Wej-Wej se v důsledku společenské angažovanosti od roku 2008 rovněž konfrontuje s režimem. Autor líčí rovněž čínskou uměleckou scénu na přelomu milénia a poměry v Číně po potlačení demokratického hnutí i vlastní snahu o svobodné umělecké vyjádření. Zároveň čtenáře provází po vlastním díle zahrnující plastiky, fotografie, film i elektronická díla.
