John Fekner's photographs explore NYC graffiti comenting on society's video/television watching indiference to the poverty and toxicity around us and the threat of nuclear war. The photo essay culminates in several photographs of a project in which Fekner collaborated with a graffiti artist to paint a mural inviting people into a bomb shelter in a building that had been bricked up completely. Two short essays at the beginning and end of the book are included.
Absence is Yoon's reaction to the events of September 11, 2001, when two jets collided with the twin towers of New York's World Trade Center. The 121 page book has no markings or printing of any sort; instead it is illustrated with the cut aways from each page. The cutaways resemble a tiny round hole for the first nine pages before expanding to two adjacent squares, representing the foot print of the WTC. The last page shows the surrounding buildings. Yoon has created a book that is about what is no longer in the world, just as she has excised the material from within the book.
