yyin. Volume 02: MONSTER

The existence of monsters, like the feminine, cannot be co-opted by society.
Even when excluded by the mainstream, they can still continue to grow in the cracks.

*yyin. volume 2: MONSTER* continues the core spirit of exploring the feminine in its inaugural issue, using monsters as a theme to summon the inner narratives of artists and designers, expanding its multifaceted meaning in contemporary Taiwan.

The book contains eight sets of works co-created by artists and designers, encompassing diverse media such as photography, installation, poetry, and painting. It also includes bilingual interviews in Chinese and English, delving into the creative process.

Participants in this issue: Wang Yu-wei, Luo Jian-hong, Wang Ning, Zhang Qiao-yi, Betty Apple, Jia, FM607 Dudu, A-Sun, Kenalwayscan, 71 Su, Liu Rui, Peng Zai, Chen Wen-xiang (Penny), Puzu Huang, Ouyang Xuan, Ye Zhe, Chen Yi-jie, Oxford University Poetry Society, and Xie Jia-fang.

*yyin. volume 2: MONSTER* is a publication project of yyin. studio, focusing on gender issues and dedicated to connecting the public through art, opening a dialogue space about the "feminine." It was recognized with the Golden Pin Design Award in 2025.
