Box of Fiction, Roman Nvmerals,Vol. LVII, by Ann Burke Daly
Ann Daly’s Box of Fiction, is a photographic essay on the uncanny afterlife of objects, photographs, narratives, and biographies inherited through material and verbal fragments, and of the act of documenting—as in a crime scene— the contents of a cardboard box discovered a decade after the death of the artist’s mother. For Daly, the work of interpretation does not rest, rather it remains agitated within a palimpsest of silencing surrounding catastrophic family events.
16 pages / 6 x 8.5 in. 9 plates; 6 full-spread Saddle-stitched softcover on Mohawk Superfine signed edition of 20 Printed at Meridian in RI ROMAN NVMERALS Books, Brooklyn, 2016
