An artist's book by the Auckland-based Haruhiko Sameshima. Collage-like, it is made up of his own frames together with found historical images and texts, both commissioned and found in history books and on the internet.
It serves as an engaging and poetic introduction to his longstanding exploration of the medium as myth: a skewed tour guide and time machine, taking the reader on a meander through the histories of visual representation in this country, alongside a sweeping and contemporary canvas of our relationships with human habitats and with the land in New Zealand.
