Jack Pierson/Jim Lewis. Real Gone

The outcome of a road trip to Las Vegas by artist Jack Pierson and author Jim Lewis, Real Gone is neither a travel guide nor a photo-essay. Instead, the collaborators have created a work which lies somewhere between fact and fiction. Pierson’s photographs are free-floating, seductive images of the city. And Jim Lewis has woven together a story set on and off the strip; descriptions of the trip the authors in fact took; and reflections on the city as a center of recreation, a magnet for high rollers and low-life.

Text: Lewis Jim. cm 16×21; pp. 54; COL; hardcover. Publisher: Artspace Books, San Francisco, 1993.
