A Light Year of Lead

Résumé du livre

A Light Year of Lead is an investigation into how contemporary science pictures the invisible & unknown. Carroll has photographed throughout the United States in former mines where scientists have installed experiments attempting to detect elusive elementary particles and theoretical dark matter. Rather than demystify the experiments, Carroll amplifies their strangeness through seven distinct chapters. In collaboration with Carroll's on-site photographs and studio experimentations, Catanzano presents a series of typographical poems that span the scientific and mythopoetic to the surreal and absurd. An expanded laboratory experiment between art, science and literature, the collaboration between Carroll and Catanzano blurs established boundaries between the known and unknown, as well as image & text.
