Presented as a layered notebook weaving in and out of images and texts, Bees &The Bearable restores Chen Zhes practice as an ongoing process of exploration, discovery and research. What happens when actions that can jeopardize ones existence, such as hurting ones own body, in return serve the purpose of understanding the existence itself? Should we see it as a fluky escape, or a relief from the weight of modern life? While the individual response may differ, the book illustrates that there still lies psychological connectedness that undoubtedly link each of us together. Everything else follows from there.
