Long text inserted in a poster-cover
After Palms of the fog, the Canadian artist returns to photography for a book that runs on his usual material, language and form. The black-and-white series lays out one fictional day in the coastal town of Shimoda, in Japan. A long text slipped inside a poster-cover in acid-pop colours supports it, and the landscape the pictures build is thick with allegory and with nods to the history of Japanese photography. What the pages weave together is a link to the unreal, to mystery, and now and then to something like hallucinated transformation.
