Richard Marshall reviews Stephen Barber's Annihilation Zones

There are no living people anymore. Our own images have conquered the world. Consumerism has coopted all images. The image becomes isolated. We echo this data's totality and the obstacles which the data contains. There is no longer the stubborn resistence of the real world because we don't know what the term "the real world" refers to. We have obliterated it. The image is completely compliant and submissive. We find in it only what we put into it. Everyone is smiling. Everyone is happy. It is an enchanted domain. There is no future or past. It is the end of history. It is the end of time.
