Kate Blacker and Pauline Pierson:
Because It Is There
Kate Blacker's grandfather took the first aerial photographs of Mt. Everest in 1933 and this book is part of a series of works drawing on documentation from that expedition. Its two concertina pages pull out from a plain box with a circular cutout, suggestive of a camera lens, and form peaks. Beneath an opaque red sheet lies a blue and black image of Everest surrounded by clouds, majestic, disorienting, intriguing.
