Published by the independent Dutch publisher Roma in the exact same form as their publication The Xerox Book based on the pivotal 1960s conceptual book by American curator and art dealer Seth Siegelaub in which he asked each participating artist to create 25 pages of work that responded to the photocopy format, which was new at the time. Rome - Malibu is very much a document of a specific time and place - pictures of the architecture and monuments of Rome, largely without people with a brief section of photographs of the ocean in Malibu at the end. It is meant to be the first in a series that embraces this exact book format.
