The Migrant
by Anais Lopez
Photographs: Anais Lopez
Text: Anais Lopez
Publisher: self-published
120+16 pages
Year: 2018
ISBN: 9789082076127
Comments: The book is designed by Teun van der Heijden. It contains silk screen prints, illustrations by renowned Singaporean cartoonist Sonny Liew and a handmade pop-up by artist Moon Brouwer. 24 x 31,8 cm, 120 pages + booklet of 16 pages, English, Edition: 450.
The Migrant tells the turbulent life story of the Javan Mynah. A member of the starling family, the bird is originally from Java (Indonesia) and was introduced to Singapore in the early 20th century through the songbird trade. Today, he is reviled, persecuted and even killed. It is a story about one bird, but at the same time it addresses broader themes such as the complex relationship between humans and animals, the consequences of rapid urbanization and the position of the unwanted outsider.
The book is a work of art in itself that can be used to share the story of the Javan Mynah with others.
