2018ABE-1675259210036Strange Attractor Press London 2018 This is a truly odd listing. It is easy to understand at one level. It has a powerful impact. It will set you thinking. It is also a truly original take on an historical theme. Ian Johnstone worked on this odd and fascinating collection. It is VERY odd; it is possibly unique. The wounds all twenty three of them were inspired by this artist's conception of how each stab was wielded and delivered upon Julius Caesar. An attempt to describe it sounds pretentious but with this strange book in your hands you can look and share something of this odd vision. Each was produced on - I believe - white melamine. The wounds are rendered in red pigment or ink. One of them is featured on the shiny white cover. It is an image inset into a blind stamped shape. The images inside are all in keeping with the cover and one can speculate; is this Brutus's mark And can that be yon Cassius's lean and hungry blade Was this how each wound appeared upon the toga of JC Speculate as you wish and contemplate them in whatever order you like. They are all worth a look and you will have seen nothing so strange before. And there are some photographs of the artist at the back by Kerry and Daniel O'Sullivan. Geoff Cox and Serena Korda have written the text. This is hard to describe and easy to look at. It is wondrous strange. It is peculiar.On the back cover it says '23 hawk beaks 23 fragments of a skull 23 curses hung round the neck of a scavenger.' And there are only 300 copies in the whole wide world of this book and it might be a masterpiece. It is not signed or numbered but the publisher insists only 300 copies exist. There is also a cassette of special music. YES! A cassette. The loose prints are ready to frame and the whole package is something very special indeed. Limited Edition. Hardcover. New.
