ISOLATION AND AMAZEMENT offers insight into the contemporary art practice of Odyssey Works, a group that probes the _relationship between audience and artist by making DEEPLY affective work for an audience of _one. This artist's book documents and TRACES the experience of the participant, Carl Collins, with photos, drawings and writings from the 2012 production The Map is Not the Territory. Providing an _intimate cross-section of the Odyssey, it highlights both the ephemeral and material aspects of the production. The participant's own PERSPECTIVE alongside reflections by the artists involved offer rare insight into the _theoretical and personal aspects of the work.
