Product Description
Erotic, enigmatic and ephemeral-feeling, this compact artist's book includes 60 artworks in different media, including videos, works on canvas, digital paintings, word sculptures, slides and printed photographs. Often out of focus, overexposed or underexposed, the works convey the feeling of a road movie, linking bleak, everyday experiences with sparkling, Hollywood-esque twists--a kind of hustler noir.
