  • City & Desire - Zobeide

    INVISIBLE CITIES was a novel written by Italian writer Vintage Calvino. The book is framed as a conversation between an explorer Marco Polo and busy Yuan Dynasty emperor Kublai Khan, who constantly has merchants coming to describe the state of his expanding and vast empire, and Polo. Most of the book consists of brief prose poems describing 55 cities, apparently narrated by Polo. From reading the novel, we got to know a lot of fake cities and spread our imagination to various spacial sculptures. Also from reading we find out our favorite city, Zobeide.

    Zobeide is a white city. Men from different parts of the city had the same dream of purpusing a beautiful naked woman in a strange city but never succeeded. After the dream they started to look for the city. They didn't find it but fiound each other, then they buit the city in their dream and create corners, turns, secret space and traps to catch her, also they plugged up all the roads out and make the whole city dead-end. However, the woman never appeared and they trapped themselves inside.
