Fig

Fig, published by Steidl, features more than 80 images by photographers Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin. Designed by Victoria Forrest and Allon Kaye at Smith Design, the book features pictures of strange objects found at the Booth Museum of Natural History, Brighton, such as a merman’s body, a unicorn’s horn and a dodo skeleton, and traces the link between photography, imperialism and the colonial impulse to acquire, map and collect.
