Notes: "Hecatombe, a limited edition artist's book, is a response to the 9-11 attacks on the United States.  The structure of the book symbolically reflects the two towers, which are connected by a wall of images in the center accordion structure.  The photographs were taken by the artist and the victim's names are from the web site  http:www.september11victims.com designed by Alex Spektor.  [...]  The book was written, designed and printed by the artist.  The text and images are laser printed, using Mohawk for the accordion images, Fabriano Tiziano for the endsheets, and Pergamena for the covers.  The cover title is laser stenciled to create a void. The end sheets are relief printed"--Colophon.

The middle section of the work is in the accordion-fold format; book is hand-sewn, in box.

An edition of 50.

Rare Book copy: No. 18.
