This work published about twenty years after his first book shows Ralph Gibson's maturation in his chosen craft. All black & white photographs herein. Each page "converses" with the photo on the opposite page and taken together, leaves a memorable impression. I'm glad to have added this to our library.

This is a tourist's look at the languages and fonts of the world. No depth at all. You get an Egyptian hieroglyph (wow! so weird!) next to the map of a small French village with French words on it. Ugh.
The more you see of this guy's work, the more you realize how he reuses the same images multiple times and to deflating ends.
The photo on p. 93 is a macro of a wall of right-angled barb-wire like extrusions that I could continue to look at longer if it wasn't in the context of such an empty vision.
