Description:Laser-printed paper map glued inside an inkjet printed paper cover with added stars. Edition number 12 of 25. Signed by the artist. "Traditional maps of the constellations in the night sky often show the pattern of stars superimposed onto a drawing of the mythological or astrological figure that gave the constellation its name. Philip Lee's CONSTELLATIONS opens to reveal a folded glossy coloured sheet: accurate maps of eleven constellations reinterpreted and renamed by performance artist Philip Lee. In each photograph, he is naked but wearing or holding a single object - in posed that are arguably as good a match as the traditional interpretations of these constellations." -- back matter
