Description

This series of self-published ISBN Bookworks is a gradual and extensive accumulation and sequencing of homogeneous photographic imagery. The latest three titles in a continuing interdependent series are available at cost. These books consist entirely of halftone photographs (no text), printed full-page-bleed on newsprint; web-offset and perfect-bound. Landscape-format 9x12 inches; and 128--1024 pages. Each book is entitled only with its ISBN (International Standard Book Number) number on colored cover stock. (Beautiful hyperbolic ornaments!) These books are distributed and exhibited world-wide. *ISBN 0-9690745-0-6* Synopsis: The lights of the cruise ship dance their reflections across the water. The accompanying book whose title is its ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is the fifth of a number of titles looming on the horizon. It took form sporadically over the past year; the various stages in its production occurring across a wide geographical area in central N.S. There are several anchoring positions for ships in the middle of Halifax Harbour. The shavings are residue from whittling activity. The anchoring-positions are not visible until they are occupied, usually for no more than a few days. It is the suddenness of another new vessel in the harbour which disperses its otherwise substantive quality. All seems lost. -- — F.to: 27x20; pagg. var; BN; rileg. brossura.
