A uniquely designed survey documenting key projects produced since 2002, published in close collaboration with the artist -- the first to draw together such a diverse and complex range of work, based around three equal elements: photography, text, and graphic design, which combined investigate the limitations of absolute understanding, examining the gaps between each element and how this can lead to disorientation and ambiguity. The surveyed projects range from examinations of legal function specific to the United States, to a four-year examination of politics, history and individual agency on a global scale, to works based on obscure and little-known stories and archives addressing the nature of the production and circulation of knowledge.
