Description


"Attracted to Light, the first major monograph by famed art stars Doug and Mike Starn in over a decade, is a lavishly produced depiction of moths as art objects. Nabokov anticipated "Attracted to Light when he wrote, in a fictional four-volume set called "The Butterflies and Moths of the Russian Empire" in "Father's Butterflies, "the illustrations are still more perfect--the downy, velvety texture, the blurry translucence of various families of moths are rendered so delicately you would be afraid to run your finger across the paper..." A sumptuously large and exquisitely produced book, "Attracted to Light showcases the Starns' extensive conceptual portrait series of nocturnal moths' mysterious journey and the seeming gravitational force that light has over them, "capture" in these photographs and film/video footage.
