About Xicang Market Libro
Xicang Market è un libro che documenta un mercato di strada settimanale a Xi'an, in Cina. Il libro registra gli oggetti utilizzati come bancarelle, le modalità di esposizione delle merci, i cartelli scritti a mano e la relazione tra le persone e gli oggetti. Il progetto grafico è mantenuto essenziale, così che il materiale sia presentato in modo semplice e diretto. Il libro è suddiviso in otto capitoli: luogo, mercato, cartelli, bancarelle, testimonianze orali, merci, prezzi e venditori. Ogni capitolo è indipendente e restituisce una parte della scena del mercato. Per un capitolo è stata scelta una carta simile a quella dei volantini pubblicitari che si trovano al mercato.
