One of 360 Signed by Sugimoto

The Long Never

Notes: An original short story by Foer illustrated with sixty-five reproductions of Sugimoto's photographs. The images, printed using offset tritone lithography, are trimmed to the edge of the photograph and hand-mounted on sheets with a debossed frame for the images. Sugimotos works come from five series—Meteorites, Dioramas, Pre Photographic Time Recording Devices, Lightning Fields, and Seascapes. Foer's story is printed a phrase or sentence at a time underneath the images, which must be lifted up to reveal the text.

The edition was 360 copies signed by Sugimoto on a sheet mounted on the rear pastedown. The book is bound in silver Setalux bookcloth, wrapped with a plain paper dust jacket, and housed in a custom-made brushed aluminum slipcase.

60 leaves. 11 by 14 inches.

Edition + Condition: First edition (first printing). A fine copy in a good-only unprinted jacket with a large tear and several chips. The slipcase has a few minor scratches and dents.
