KURLAND, Justine. Spirit West.

(Paris): Coromandel Design, 2000. First edition. Oblong quarto. Unpaginated. A special photobook, Spirit West is about cacti and bra straps, about bubble gum and animal bodies, spring blossoms and asphalt. Pictures of neo-romantic landscapes inhabited by young adolescent girls, half-sprites, half juvenile delinquents. The beauty of the nature is overwhelming, but is regularly disturbed by an ugly viaduct or unsightly building. A fine copy in photographic boards. Published in an edition of 1500 copies but far scarcer than the limitation would suggest.
