About this Item
Description:
First Edition. SIGNED by Simon to title page in black ink. For a work week in November 2009, Taryn Simon was on site at John F. Kennedy International Airport, photographing 1075 items that were seized by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency and the U.S. Postal Service. The resulting photobook provides a visual survey of the contraband, concluding with a lengthy index of the items, grouped into categories, with reason for seizure supplied. Introduced by text from Hans Ulrich Obrist. Fine in plain wrappers, with titles printed to spine. In the scarce yellow-and-black version of the jacket (one of three versions), also fine.
