These photographs are taken with a strobe flash in the desert at night, revealing cacti and details of the desert floor—the artificiality of these images is exaggerated by Misrach's split-tone selenium prints. For Misrach, an important conceptual component of this book is the lack of a title, with the publisher's information appearing on the spine and nowhere else.
