Jonathan Reeve Price starts with one of Hokusai's views, disassembles it, constructs a new picture out of the pieces, as a visual critique, and adds floating text chunks-brief observations, snippets of poetry, stray thoughts.
Thumbnails of the originals let you compare the before-and-after, gauging Hokusai's wood-block print against the pixelated, sliced, and diced collage, and the scattered texts in which Price reflects on Hokusai's drive for immortality, his exploitation of newly available pigments, his fondness for the interplay of text and image, and his love for the ordinary workers and travelers out in the country.
