VINE
Edition of 50
104 Pages - comes with a hand-numbered risograph print
Prepare yourself for the opportunity to be over informed by a guide book / photo book / history book and all-in-one essay that connects the origins and stories of the species of vines living all across the city of Chicago. Even so far removed from their histories and habitats of literal millennia ago, they’ve adapted to the city that they share with us today. Inside, see a local vine hailed as having saved the French winemaking industry from collapse, learn about the shifting symbolism of ivy, and how certain seeds were a death sentence if they were found in your possession. All within the context of where they grow here and now in our own city’s streets, alleys, and parks.
