dis-Similarities (ebook)

by by Craig J Calhoun (et al.), cjrc24

What if one's artistic practice wasn't concerned with capturing?
As a incomplete collection of images (152 mostly color montages on 174 pages) and texts, "dis-similarities" is an ongoing, and thus unfinished, book project that I began well over a year ago. Included are many of my favorite montages that I've worked on since I first started manipulating digital image files with Photoshop in June of 2004. Also included (besides what I wrote) are quotes from some of my favorite authors that have inspired me over the years.
An unfinished book for an unfinished theory - that differences are never absolutely other. Hence the hyphen in the title as differences, for me at least, involve both similarity and dissimilarity (similarity implies dissimilarity and vice versa and neither imply Sameness, which is a myth).

THIS BOOK CONTAINS ADULT MALE NUDITY. :P
