A collaboration between Urszula Dawkins and Peter Lyssiotis, this artists' book combines tales of queer desire and a series of abstracted cityscapes. In the style of the French livre d'artiste of the early 20th century, the book extends a tradition that began with the private exchange of erotica in the form of the precious object.
