이 책은 사진작가 린다 코너가 독일의 자연·곤충학자이자 삽화가인 마리아 지빌라 메리안의 삽화가 담긴 원서 『열대의 경이로운 작은 책Das kleine Buch der Tropenwunder』(1954)에 콜라주 작업을 더하여 재창조한 아티스트북이다.
모험심 강한 예술가 마리아가 재현한 묘사적인 그림 위에 린다 코너만의 유희적이고 기묘한 상상의 세계가 중첩된다. 마리아가 그린 식물과 곤충들과 노닐거나 충돌하는, 과감하고 자유로운 린다의 콜라주는 관찰과 이해를 넘어선 본능적 감각과 상상력의 확장이다. 우리가 미처 경험하지 못한 야생의 에너지와 초현실적인 세상이 17세기 유럽의 마리아 지빌라 메리안과 21세기 미국의 예술가 린다 코너와의 조우를 통해 다시 열리고 있다. 자연의 신비와 삶과 죽음의 역설, 그럼에도 불구하고 미지의 세계를 여는 예술가의 모험심은 시대와 장소의 경계를 넘어 지금 이곳의 우리를 위한 작은 책으로 탄생하였다.

This artist book was created by photographer Linda Connor through the addition of collage work to the original Das kleine Buch der Tropenwunder (The Little Book of Tropical Wonders, 1954), which features illustrations by German naturalist, entomologist, and illustrator Maria Sibylla Merian. Linda Connor’s playful and bizarre imaginative world is superimposed upon Merian’s descriptive illustrations of plants and insects. Her bold and free collages, which frolic with or crash into the flora and fauna drawn by Merian, extend beyond observation and understanding into the instinctive realm of sensation and imagination. The untamed energy and surreal world we have never encountered are reopened through the encounter between 17th-century European artist Maria Sibylla Merian and 21st-century American artist Linda Connor. The mystery of nature, the paradox of life and death, and the adventurous spirit of artists who open up unknown worlds — despite all odds — have transcended time and place to become a small book for us, here and now.
