Post Truth collects a selection of fifty-six high-quality photographic works that George Byrne printed and exhibited internationally between 2015 and 2020. Byrne creates large-scale photographs that depict everyday surfaces and landscapes as painterly abstractions: a pink panel on a pole against the sky, two palm trees against a blue sky, a floating pink ring above its shadow in a swimming pool and a pastel wall with cypress trees. The book was self-published in a first edition of 1,500 copies, signed and numbered in December 2020, and produced with three collaborators: the producer and editor Stephanie Emerson, the designer Michael Worthington and the novelist and architecture and culture writer Ian Volner, whose essay introduces it. The blue cloth cover carries the title and the author's name in yellow and orange lettering around a tipped-in photograph of a pastel wall with a yellow staircase.
