Try and beat this Mars, 2003
2003

I was interested in the depiction of a physical reality within the fictional framework of cartoons – in a sense, going into where Superman lives, and breaking down that reality. Diagnosing the air and the water that exists within this comic book reality which we, as a culture, participate in. The atmosphere as it exists in the cartoon is related to the atmosphere of dreams and the atmosphere of pictures. Both the cover and the content of the book are from a series of works produced in 1974 around the subject of “details from an imaginary universe.”
