Book description:Standing on a shelf, this book seemingly doesn't differ from other solid, hard-cover publications. But there is something in it, that you could never find in any other industrially produced publication. Materiality - or even corporeality - of the Riso printing technique overlays a story told in simple pictures – the narration is based on collages and their connotations. Institute – a macguffin operator in the field of research – leads an expedition, where something goes wrong. But what precisely? Various parallels of a long lost voyage diary come to head. The book is sensuous and organic. The paint smudges a but under fingers, what strengthens the specific atmosphere of the story. If I may suggest, put Institute near your favorite National Geographic's. That will be where it's best for it.
