Description
 
A collage of photographs and texts that bounces back and forth between religious places and objects around the worls, the mise-en-scène of sales and display and pieces that attempt to pull those two worlds together.



An attempt to recognize what sorts of rituals, superstitious habits and spiritual auras can be found in the contemporary world. That's a lot to attempt, and the book doesn't quite do all that — but it's aiming in that direction.

My picture taking began as a mindless activity... in retrospect, I seem to look for the numinous in the banal, the mundane... religious artifacts, shop window displays, isolated structures in the landscape, hotel and airport room details...

David Byrne (born May 14, 1952, in Dumbarton, Scotland) is a Scottish-American musician and artist. He is perhaps best known as a founding member and the principal songwriter of the new wave band Talking Heads.

David is a SUBGENII - The Church of the SubGenius is a religious group that satirizes religion, conspiracy theory, UFOs and popular culture originally based in Dallas, Texas, which gained prominence in the 1980s and 1990s subculture, with a large presence on the Internet. David currently lives in New York City.

CONDITION: Hard Cover, published by Chronicle Books, 1st edition, light overall wear.
