Endlessness
2020

Book in offset-lithography, 23 x 17 cm

Endlessness is an artist book that takes Scott’s expedition to the Antarctic in 1910–13 as its starting point and—combining text and image—goes on to weave a speculative narrative around solitude, interiority, and vision. It is based around a pair of skis used on the expedition, which I came across when visiting the Royal Geographical Society in London.

The skis belonged to one of the younger members of Scott’s expedition, Apsley Cherry-Garrard—carved with his initials, most likely by the man himself—and are reproduced at actual size across a number of the book’s pages. Endlessness also charts the expedition and features a series of ‘interludes’ that explore tangentially related subjects, as well as archival photographs from the expedition, paintings, associated ephemera, and facts about the Antarctic.
