Fine/No Jacket - As Issued. 96pp, 52 illustrations in color and b&w. While primarily known for his role as "Aragorn" in Peter Jackson's cinematic version of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, Mr. Mortensen is an artist whose boundless creative output embraces a myriad of media. This handsome book reproduces a series of photographs that document and abstract the urban backyard swimming pool as monument. The images vary from late afternoon reflections on still water, to the distressed architectural elements found inside an empty and abandoned pool.
