Description: Birds of the Wet Indies by Taryn Simon Published by Hatje Cantz Verlag in 2013 Simon's Birds of the West Indies (2013–14) is a two-part body of work, whose title is taken from the definitive taxonomy of the same name by the American ornithologist James Bond. Ian Fleming, an active bird watcher, appropriated the author's name for his novels' lead character. He found it "flat and colourless," a fitting choice for a character intended to be "anonymous… a blunt instrument in the hands of the government." The first element of Simon's work is a photographic inventory of the women, weapons and vehicles of James Bond films made over the past fifty years. This visual database of interchangeable variables used in the production of fantasy examines the economic and emotional value generated by their repetition. Near fine condition. No edge wear or bumped corners. Bottom of spine is a little damaged as seen in photos. Tight and square. Pages are clean and unmarked. See photos. vk
