书是有史以来第一本介绍埃塞俄比亚艺术家Elias Sime作品的专著，他出色地探索了后消费主义世界中生活的影响。

Sime的雕塑作品色彩鲜艳，以线、纽扣、电线和电脑碎片等发现的物品为主题。这本书重点介绍了这位艺术家过去十年的作品，其中大部分是名为 “钢索Tightrope”的系列作品。通过对电路和键盘等残余电子元件的再利用，Sime将技术进步的副产品垃圾融入其中，并指出了可持续发展的紧迫性。由此产生的抽象作品参考了景观和人物，以及传统的埃塞俄比亚纺织品。"钢索Tightrope "指的是技术进步与对环境的不利影响之间的不稳定平衡。

A first-

ever monograph featuring the work of the Ethiopian artist Elias Sime, who brilliantly explores the impact of life in a post-consumerist world.

Sime’s brightly-

colored sculptural tableaus feature found objects including thread, buttons, electrical wires, and computer detritus. This book highlights the artist’s work from the last decade, much of which comprises the series entitled “Tightrope.” Repurposing salvaged electronic components, such as circuits and keyboards, Sime incorporates the refuse that are the byproducts of technological advancement, and points to the urgency of sustainability. The resulting abstractions reference landscape and the figure as well as traditional Ethiopian textiles. “Tightrope” refers to the precarious balance between the progress technology has made possible and its detrimental impact on the environment.
