Beyond Drifting: Imperfectly Known Animals by Mandy Barker

A collection of works by British photographer Mandy Barker.

The book is based on a book by John Vaughan Thompson published about 200 years ago, and the author, who works on marine environmental issues, uses fantastical imagery to address the issue of marine pollution caused by microplastics. The issue of microplastics and marine pollution caused by plastics has attracted more media attention around the world, and not only large corporations but also individuals are making changes to choose not to use disposable plastics in supermarkets and at home. Mandy continues to work on this project to draw more attention to environmental conservation internationally.

It is a very meticulously crafted book, with processing to make it look like an antique book and faint printing of original writing. Although it deals with the theme of environmental issues that we tend to want to look away from, it is a book filled with mysterious charm and beauty that will have you picking it up and opening it again and again.
