Beautiful artist’s book about Tin Drum’s MR installation, Medusa. A meditation on emergent technologies, nature and architecture amidst the climate crisis with contributions from celebrated writers, academics and thinkers. The mixed reality Medusa installation began with the questions: is there even such a thing as non-physical architecture? What is the function of architecture without physical form? Directed by Yoyo Munk and produced by Tin Drum, it headlined the 2021 London Design Festival at the Victoria & Albert Museum. Yoyo Munk’s first book is an exploration into Medusa’s themes, reflecting on our changing relationship with architecture within the context of rapidly advancing technology and ongoing mass extinction. Featuring original artwork by Tin Drum, Medusa is a timely and moving artist’s book about climate grief. Medusa includes fascinating conversations between Munk and Sou Fujimoto, the renowned architect and Medusa collaborator, James Bridle, author of Ways of Being; Veronica Strang, cultural anthropologist; and Seirian Sumner, author of Endless Forms: The Secret World of Wasps. A dazzling poetic contribution from Octavia Bright, author of This Ragged Grace: A Memoir of Recovery and Renewal is interspersed throughout the book. Medusa is an art object to be treasured, employing multiple inks, foils, papers and processes.
