About this Item

First Edition. Hardback. 4to. 9 inches by 12. Hardback with 20 stiff card high gloss pages with the illustrations /artwork loose between each page. 1500 copies only. In attractive dye cut black and silver slip-case.Visionaire states: 43 DREAMS uses no ink. Images are rendered via a high-tech laser-cutting process in which artworks (by Simon Periton, Rachel Whiteread, and Nick Knight, Lagerfeld, Philip Taafte,Simon Periton, Bruce Weber, Mario Sorrenti among others) are literally burned into paper. Slipped into a book of multicolor foil, the resulting pages are haunting in their shadowy nature. The young girl in Adam FussÕs photo assumes a ghostly quality, barely perceptible until the laser-cut is reflected onto the foil page. Michael Kimmelman of The New York Times wrote that the issueÕs pages were Òvaguely akin to holographs or old daguerrotypes, as is the implicit magic that comes with finding a face or flower, as if conjured up, out of the darkness.Ó.
