En el presente libro se recogen algunos...

Las tomas se repiten invariablemente, pero parecería que no por un sentido de perfección, sino de búsqueda. Este proyecto es un cuestionamiento sobre la repetición, una revisión de archivo y memoria.
En la era analógica, el fotógrafo nunca estaba...

Description
Visually arresting and utterly one-of-a-kind, Sarah J. Sloat's Hotel Almighty is a book-length erasure of Misery by Stephen King, a reimagining of the novel's themes of constraint and possibility in elliptical, enigmatic poems. Here, "joy would crawl over broken glass, if that was the way." Here, sleep is "a circle whose diameter might be small," a circle "pitifully small," a "wrecked and empty hypothetical circle." Paired with Sloat's stunning mixed-media...
