"Between 2017 and 2021 artist Doug Aitken presented his site-specific installation entitled “Mirage” in the California desert outside Palm Springs, at a defunct Detroit bank, and nestled in the Swiss Alps. “Mirage” takes the form of a ranch-style suburban American house whose exterior is entirely clad in reflective mirrored surfaces that camouflage it in landscapes far removed from the familiar lawn and picket fence. The book is an immersive chronicle of the three installations, featuring photographs, architectural drawings, and other materials related to the project accompanied by a text by Neville Wakefield as well as an interview with the artist. Published collaboratively by The LUMA Foundation, JRP | Editions, and Zolo Press, and handmade with cold foils, silver printing, an exposed spine, and bound as a leporello, this extraordinary document is a tour de force of the bookmaker’s art."

A brand new example of the first edition collaboratively published by The LUMA Foundation, Zolo Press, and JRP Editions limited to one thousand copies additionally SIGNED by the artist.

Examples of the deluxe signed, numbered and slipcased edition of "Mirage" limited to one hundred copies can be ordered here from co-publishers Zolo Press, or JRP Editions.
