Summary

"Among other things, this work comments on the complicated attitudes of Americans on illegal immigration from Mexico ... The ... book was printed as a series of two-page board-book spreads that minimize the visual distraction of a 'gutter' on the panoramic view of each skyscape. The edges of the book are rounded and gilded in the fashion of breviaries or missals ... The interior pages show the progression of a typical high-desert day from dawn to sunset with a single line of text on each two-page spread"--Artist's blog (http://philipzimmermann.blogspot.com/), entries for Mar. 8, 2010, retrieved Dec. 1, 2010.

The skyscapes were all photographed in New Mexico and Arizona during 2003 and 2004 ... Printed and bound in China [by C and C Offset Printing]"--Colophon.
