Hardcover. Zustand: Fine in Fine Archival Box. First Edition. First Edition. Hardcover. "The denizens of this forgotten island are plagued by sickness. Many theories are put forth as to the source of their ailments, such as, pigeons from Chernobyl moulting their radioactive feathers, skulls and bones that lay under an old chapel or that the ground is full of chemicals. All of these potentials hazards are soon pushed aside as the population is removed for new growth and development. On the top half of the binding, I took inspiration from the KNSM Island Skydome, a housing project built by Wiel Arets Architects. Its angular and sleek design became a stark contrast to a landscape that had fallen into disarray by its derelict inhabitants." [artist statement]. Tight, bright, and unmarred.
