 Moving photographic pastiche of life lived well, 1999-12-14

This is a reproduction of the artist's "notebooks", which consist of his wonderful photographs, cut and pasted with almost anything and everything: tickets, ads, random bits of newspaper, drawings, text, etc. These notebooks were an apparently deeply personal work by Eldon, documenting his journeys in Africa, where he grew up, and for the most part, lived. The bittersweet part of this tale is that Eldon died young, at the hands of an angry mob, while sympathetically documenting their rage. Published posthumously by Eldon's mother, the notebooks evince that Eldon lived beautifully for the short time he was here. Among the most moving pieces of art I've seen. You'll want to give one to all your friends. Do.
