distance of distinct vision / point éloigné de vision claire

File contains records and research material related to the various iterations of the work, distance of distinct vision / point éloigné de vision claire, originally created in 1992 during an exhibition at Western Front, curated by Brice Canyon.

The work is organized into five chapters (as represented in the publication): The Imperialism of Syntax / L’Impérialisme de la Syntaxe; Ubiquitous China / La Chine Omniprésente, which references the title of Howard Bancroft’s 1890 book The History of British Columbia: The Ubiquitous China Man; they did not rest in quiet even here / ils n’ont pu trouver le repos, pas même ici, which is quoted from a children’s history book titled Christopher Columbus and the Discovery of America (1896); and epilogue / épilogue.
