Le Dpays – Hardcover Book

By Chris Marker

This is the first English language edition of Chris Markers 1982 photo-essay, Le Dpays. Lovingly adapted from the original design, it features Markers own translation astride some of his most exquisite, yet rarely seen, black-and-white photography. Realized over the same years as its film companion, Sans Soleil, the book traces similar themescats and owls and Japanbut without ever leaving Golden-Gai for Guinea-Bissau. Musing among department store maneki-neko and dreamers on the metro, wandering between Tokyo and no-place at all, this is nevertheless a unique glimpse of Marker feeling very much himself and quite at home; that is, delightfully disoriented.
