Artist's book

'This is the first publication in which Downsbrough uses a geographical map as a visual element. The central part of the city map of Bremen, where the exhibition took place, is printed on the spread formed by the two inside covers [...]'. The book has a hybrid lay-out with text on each right-hand page and one the lef-hand pages various elements Downsbrough used in his books (line drawings, sketches, Two Lines, words,...). This lay-out is a tribute to his concept.'
