Zurich, Switzerland, Edition Patrick Frey, 2000. Hardcover. pictorial boards w/ grey cloth & black printed spine. 152 pgs w/ 65 color illustrations, 40 bw. Out of print from the publisher. "During a space of three years, Taiyo Onorato and Nico Krebs traveled several months through the United States, working ‘on the road' on the photo series The Great Unreal. The photographic work deals with reality and the fabrication of reality. The geography of America serves as both setting and fertile ground for the examination. Mysticism and demystification are important aspects in this process, as is working with a rich inventory of visual icons that can be continually deconstructed and manipulated. The working method of both photographers is based on interventions prescribed mostly by happenstance and change. Through repetition and associative placement, the sometimes crude, sometimes subtle interventions begin to link to one another, establishing an exciting transformation of reality that only hesitatingly reveals itself to the viewer."--Publisher's Website.
