SynopsisThe images in this book, viciously expose the anarchy which man imposes on nature and on himself. This book is dramatic, provocative and beautiful and will have a powerful impact within the art and photography world as it recreates a dream space, an elsewhere beyond time, beyond location, within which it organizes the shapeless and the chaotic.
