About the Book
115 pages of photographs from two Michigan junkyard and antique shops, most full-page, ranging from architectural salvage, paintings, sculptures, and rusted machinery to mannequins, discarded tools and objects in wood and metal, circus figures and the like. Stresses the aesthetic that results from how the individual pieces have been repositioned and recombined in groups and assemblages (tableaux vivants) that recall various styles (Dada, surrealism, Goth). With an essay, “Sorting Through Stuff” (6 pages).
