A dark and quiet place

by David Noonan, Brian Dillon

Accompanying a film work of the same name, this volume explores the intersections of performance, abstraction, and filmic materiality. It features a sequence of manipulated still images and speculative fiction examining the relationship between geometric forms and the body.
