This collaborative book combined documentary and fiction between images and short stories that had no prior relationship. It was an invention of colliding highly diverse imagery pairings – rather than individual images, stories, or subjects – and creating an interface of new worlds.

The art file of the full book was one of the first in its time. It was designed and created into full production-ready files using Pagemaker 3.02 that were delivered to the printer on a hard disc. As elementary as the images may look – with only black and a tinted light green matte varnish – it pushed the limits using digital technology in 1991.
