This artist book will be beautifully hand crafted by Anderson himself,
using delicate Chiyogami paper imported from Japan for the front and
back cover. The book will be Japanese bound, with a specially made
hinge at the spine, and french leaf folded interior pages.

The photographs themselves are screen grabs and mobile phone
photographs taken on Skype during intimate communications with his
long distance girlfriend. These images are interupted throughout the
book with images of stars found on the internet, refering to the
distance between the two, and the reality of the indirectness of talking
via Skype. Within the folds of the pages, Anderson's own skype portraits
can be found.

The book will be produced in an edition of 50 copies, each signed and numbered by Anderson.
