By taking pictures away from their original context, in the mass media, this artifact adds a new signifier to them. Visually, it is intended to bring opposites together and give them a new meaning. The wordplay makes use of language that adds or subtracts prefixes or suffixes to create opposite meanings. Each one of these pieces is to be handled individually but they have a narrative aspect when read together. This book gathers everyday views of the world in the mass media and questions tactical meaning.

Laser cut paper, newsprint. 25 pages. 7 x 7 x 1.5 inches. 2009. Edition of 10.

$350
