In September 2001, the artist Graham Gussin undertook a journey to a place called Askja, in what is known as the 'lunar desert' of Iceland. As Gussin was traveling through this remote and featureless but strangely beautiful landscape, a remote viewer - an individual with paranormal abilities who has been trained to see over great distances - was asked to track his movements and pinpoint his location. This publication provides a further document of the project, featuring film stills, installation photographs, and other behind-the-scenes material.

An arresting and evocative meditation on the power of cinema and storytelling.
The artists' voices carry into an adjoining space housing a large-scale projection of a looping film sequence shot in the deserted Maryon Park, London. Used as a location in Antonioni's Blow-Up, this space has been aptly described by writer Iain Sinclair as a seductive secret theatre. Echoing with the sound of wind and birds, it evokes a sense of anticipation and unease as well as seeming symbolic of the remembered landscape that the story-tellers have perhaps left behind.

Taking its cue from his six-screen installation 'Point of Departure', this lavishly illustrated publication extends its horizon to Cavusoglu's growing portfolio of multi-screen pieces, tracing connections within a subtle and evocative body of work that often pivots around the notion of a journey but always exudes a vibrant and poetic spirit of place.
