Synopsis

Short Stories: London in Two-and-a-half Dimensions

About this title

Review:

"Swollen by tides of disappearance and dreams, this urban hologram is a gift from CJ Lim and Ed Liu: an extraordinary carousel of romance and nursery rhymes, spinning a new London from artificial Thameside islands and abandoned sandcastles, its slum constellations acupunctured from above by celestial postcodes. Lim and Liu offer us Eden: mythic respite from a world where architecture means nothing but backdrop. Here, we see, the city will always be canine, animated by angels, ungoverned and anything but mundane."

Geoff Manaugh, BLDGBLOG
