In these richly and elusively detailed images, the world as we knew it blurs and collapses in on itself, flow and miasma gently erasing the borders and demarcations – the strategic fictions and mythologies – to which we’ve anchored our semantics of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderscored by a collaborative text work by Melbourne poet Lisa Gorton and an experimental essay by Art Gallery of NSW Senior Curator of Contemporary Australian Art Isobel Parker Philip, Figures of slippage and oscillation reappraises our philosophical and conceptual grappling with geography and cartography. Here, the fog of arbitrariness bankrupts the law and lore of our oceans and lands; the echo of violence, migration and climatic shift belies our borders. In the process, Pluta whispers to the fragility of our geological, environmental and societal condition. As the oceans wash through our now quaint delineations, she archives our loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished by Perimeter Books\u003cbr\u003eFirst Edition of 500\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eSoftcover with flaps\u003cbr\u003e180 pages\u003cbr\u003e320 x 240 mm\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9780648680109\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perimeter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43098682425558,"sku":"FOSAOIP01","price":28.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2538\/3478\/products\/Screenshot2022-06-22at16.47.26.png?v=1655912859","url":"https:\/\/www.thelibraryproject.ie\/it\/products\/figures-of-slippage-and-oscillation-izabela-pluta","provider":"The Library Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
