Like a cubist collage, artists Cardiff and Miller weave numerous strands of visual and textual dialogue in this unique publication recreating their acclaimed mixed-media miniature cinema installation, The Paradise Institute. First exhibited at the 49th Venice Biennale for the Visual Arts, this new genre cinema installation combines moving images, sound and space in an unconventional manner. The experiential work conveys complex and contradictory information that disturbs our perception and subsequently calls into question our understanding of the world.

Exquisitely designed by Bruce Mau, this artists’ catalog sports a faux velvet maroon cover, packaged with a Cardiff and Miller Biennale poster. Featured essays by Wayne Baerwaldt, Daniel Birnbaum and Scott Watson. Artists interview with Brigitte Kölle. 2001, English, French, Italian and German text. Hardcover, 6 × 10 inches 168 pp, numerous colour and b&w reproduction
