This edition by Ed Ruscha and Jean-Marc Bustamante consists of an object and an accompanying book. The title, L'Horizon Chimérique (Chimeric Horizon), alludes to the endlessly wide horizons in American widescreen films. The horizontal division of the surface into two zones serves as a semiotic archetype of the “landscape”. Two fields of color conjure a poetic sense of openness and vastness.
