In Situ Volume II

This book is the second in a series that act as an ironic commentary on our careless littering and material waste, both indicative of the ways in which we use the goods of the earth: all that is left after we consume tobacco and paper is smoke, ash, acrid odour, and tossed containers: possibly also carcinomas, of course. At the same time, what a nostalgic trip these images give us: the morning cigarette, the companionship of smoke and talk, the cigarette shared by lovers in reality and in old films, the puff given to a dying man, the glow from the pilot who lights up before mounting his spitfire.
