Concrete Reveries
Mark asked for help sourcing and clearing images to compliment the aesthetic reveries of his philosophical text, Concrete Reveries (Viking Canada, 2008).
Loosely centred on tensions between the immediacy and dormant complexity of consciousness and the city — the book's subtitle — imagery provides visual context for arguments as they’re laid out while parsing underlying metaphors and themes.
Primarily culled from creative commons and public domain archives, the final series (about 75 images) benefits from additional archival work by Wendy Banks. Cover photo by Geoffrey James.
