Co-published by Book Works and the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Art), London " Durham's investigation takes on board the Angles, angling, a fossil fish, East Anglia, and East London, though this is not simply the place where the books itself was published but a town in South Africa, near which a coelacanth was caught in the 1950s. Durham writes that "if I could catch an East London Coelacanth in East London, England, I might somehow be helping resolve some of the residual problems of Anglish Imperialism." Photographs show Durham in various parts of the world, fishing or near water, and at different ages, and some other people with fish. These are accompanied with Durham's conversation-like texts.
