Eirik Johnson: Borderlands 12 x 8 inches 80 pages, Hardcover 31 Four-color plates Designed by Jack Woody and Eirik Johnson ISBN: 1-931885-42-7 Publisher: Twin Palms Publishers and the Museum of Contemporary Photography (2005) Beginning in late 2001, Eirik Johnson's on-going series Borderlands navigates unclaimed spaces in search of serendipitous encounters, in awe of the various and temporary relationships that develop where human and environmental forces meet. The book’s spine design allows for each spread to lay perfectly flat; there is no page curving or edge flaring to draw the reader’s attention away from the drama and tension of each scene. It features an introduction by Rod Slemmons, former director of the Museum of Contemporary Photography. Work from Borderlands was on exhibition at the MoCP from August 2 - October 1, 2005 Seattle-based photographer and mixed-media artist Eirik Johnson has exhibited his work at spaces including the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago
