"14 Years Old & World & Border embodies the outcome of workshops conducted by Motoyuki Shitamichi with secondary school students in various Asian countries and regions starting in 2013. In these workshops, he had dialogues with students, looking for their ”borders” in daily lives; using newspapers as a medium, these tiny voices are documented and published along with important news. The artist cut out the newspaper clips, and edited into this book 14 Years Old & World & Border, which includes articles collected from students in Hong Kong that was posted on Sunday Ming Pao.

14 Years Old & World & Border is a “travelling book”. It is not to be sold but rather to be circulated nomadically. The artist hopes that the book could break through the boundaries of an art museum, letting the tiny stories circulate, travelling from one’s world to another."--https://www.taikwun.hk/en/programme/detail/travelling-book-14-years-old-and-world-and-border-book-launch-and-reading-event/314
