"Presented as a collection of discovered carte de visites, this book documents a forgotten age of mechanical wonders ... Bateman uses this history to question the idea that all photographs are bound to a particular moment in time. Combining 19th century imagery with fabricated automatons, he creates images of the past with an iconography that is usually used to depict the future. They invite a comparison between automatons and cameras; for the first time in human history, objects of our creation were looking back at us. He imagines an era where memory and change marched hand in hand, creating the world we live in today and leaving behind worlds that only exist in images."-- Description from publisher's website
Nazraeli Press "One Picture Book" Series #58.
