Doug Aitken: A-Z Book

by Doug Aitken, Michael Speaks

Doug Aitken makes art at the edge of the world, with a kind of primitivism and ritualism unusual for video but mysteriously present in work that hovers at the edge where desert meets sea. "Rise" presents stills and installation shots from "rise," "the mirror," "moving," "these restless minds," "2-second separation," and "i am in you," alongside an essay and interview with the artist.
