Arboretum, by David Byrne
This is a Byrne’s enigmatic, illustrative, illogical and enchanting book full of mind maps, that teaches us that there is absolutely no reason to rule out anything, of any type, anywhere.
For the past twenty-five years, David Byrne has devoted his innovative talents to various fields such as music, performance, art, activism and more . With this non-book he unveils on of his most personal projects so far: a compilation of drawings and diagrams that renders the peculiar corners of his mind's landscape.
It's a unique mix of pseudo-science, consciousness and weird humor, made to force relationships where none were thought to exist, perhaps like a form of self-healing, allowing the hand to express what the voice cannot. It involves navigating carefully and methodically through nonsensical ideas with a serious demeanor, often reaching a new level of understanding. It's like using science on non-logical things.
