An artist's book consisting of film stills from Chris Marker's "La Jetée." Design by Bruce Mau. Texts in English and French. "Although Chris Marker's legendary film is no more than 29 minutes long and contains but a single moving image, perhaps no other film has matched its combination of devastating emotional power, formal brilliance and philosophical complexity. The story marker tells - a stunning parable of our modern fate - is about the death of the world, about loss, memory, hope, and the indomitable power of love." -- publisher's statement.
