Buried Alive: Mortification and Monadology was published for my solo show at the Cabinet gallery in Brixton in 1994. It was conceived as a guide to the labyrinthine maps that covered the gallery walls. These maps were the representations of my own inner-landscapes and memory structures that had become almost entirely autonomous at the time. The publication included correspondences with influential friends – Paul Buck, Don David, Alec Dippie, Fiona Hovenden and Nick Land – whose ‘post-mortem portraits’ I made for the show; attempts to explain, understand and represent the psychological processes determining the memorial system; and prose poetry inspired by this task. The book opens with a key to the main landscape coordinates/clusters which are indexed in a parallel column where they are triggered by references in the main text.
