I disagree completely with you.
I think the dead cities inset is an amazing read. The whole thing flows
in
a really neurotic kind of way.
Most of the images seem to follow a sequence which leads to a really
nice conclusion ( or a really bad conclusion, depending on your viewpoint
).
There is grey imagery contrasted with colour. Youth with old. The image
of youth has a shining light held out in his/her hand and when youth and
colour "GIVES" to old and grey, a merger occurs.
There is lots of images of flowing, and of the flow of time to be
bidirecitonal....
I honestly prize this as the most worthwhile limited edition I have ever
forked out for...
