Hexagonal Lobes, Soft Teeth and Other Riddles
Shachar Freddy Kislev
2021
Shahar Freddy Kislev handled fruits and vegetables with his eyes closed, described the sensation in writing, and sent the descriptions to scientific illustrators from around the world. He asked them to illustrate the descriptions, without revealing to them that they were about fruits. The result is a funny and thought-provoking riddle book for the whole family based on a blockbuster exhibition presented at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. The reader is invited to reverse the process: look at the wonderful illustrations, read the riddles, and attempt to trace the identity of the fruit.
