The Human Process
Over 500 never before published images and writings of Shane Deruise in his first retrospective. There are very few books of photography and poetry that strike to the moral core, but no edition before now has ever attempted to make you question yourself as a person. It is comfort as much as it is torment. Deruise’s vision is timeless and resonates with new photographic meaning.

816 pages (Volume I: 390 p. – Volume II: 426 p.), numerous color and black-and-white photographs & memoirs, 8×10″.
