The disarmingly clear-eyed landscapes and cityscapes of Jordi Bernado reveal a photographer with an uncanny ability to sidestep all cliches and re-invent the genre. Photography here is conceived as a dense text whose meaning is to be found in overall comprehension, yet which contains subtle data if we read between the lines -- if we read, that is, the fine print to which the title's asterisk refers. Bernado lays out his photographs in pairs, and thus suggests a way to perhaps a third, unseen image. The unique format of the book, its horizontal length and careful design, make the book a sublimely effective work. Whether of Atlanta, Vancouver, Tokyo, Tenerife, desert roads or sea coasts, these images drift into one's consciousness.
