David Blandy’s new artist book, published by John Hansard Gallery for the exhibition Atomic Light, on until May 6 2023.

Available through the gallery bookshop for the duration of the exhibition or order through Cornerhouse Publications here.

The book also includes a beautiful reminisence by curator and researcher, Annie Jael Kwan, writing about a steaming bowl of juk (rice porridge) and the script for Empire of the Swamp written by playwright and writer Joel Tan, where he imagines a conversation between a crocodile, a lost soldier and an ant; a fable of nature and the repercussions of colonialism.
