Book description
Fingerprint is a visual fable that celebrates resistance to state surveillance and control. Actual fingerprints, letterpressed onto the pages of a book, produce a set of progressively complex patterns and sequences, transporting the fingerprint from the world of forensics and law into the freeing world of art and imagination. Playful yet provoking, this is both an art piece and a political communiqué by artist and philosopher Andrea Anastasio.
A poignant afterword by V. Geetha addresses the politics of fingerprinting, referencing international border, immigration and state control issues, simply and provocatively.
