This book is divided into two main sections: one part documents the photographer Pablo Cabado’s exploration of a deserted island’s remnants, while the second part sees historian Diego Castelfranco providing context in an essay detailing the island’s history and the unattained scientific dream. This separation marks an interesting journey while getting to know about the book. The viewer has the chance to consume different parts of the book’s content according to their own preference. Its physical format and binding feel authentic and specific to the book, with the added orange upon opening the main spread of the book and the orange binding thread complementing the black and white photography by Pablo Cabado.
