Collaboration starting with twenty-three units of blood

Like the travelogue of Twentysix Gasoline Stations (produced in 1963 by Ed Ruscha) this book uses a combination of old and new means of interaction to track a journey. The sobering question examined in text and image is what happens to a collaborative partnership when one party dies.  Physical markers of the collaboration punctuate the journey in a similar manner to the photographs of service stations in Ruscha’s book, while the text allows a nuanced reflection to develop.
