The images were originally made as documents of scientific experiments, industrial procedures, police investigations, and technical research. Mandel and Sultan stripped them of their original captions and contexts, reordering them as autonomous visual statements, thereby transforming utilitarian imagery into enigmatic, often absurd or unsettling art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis edition, published by D.A.P. \/ Distributed Art Publishers in 2017 (ISBN 9781942884149), is the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003esecond printing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e of the 2003 facsimile reissue.
