Critical Dictionary by David Evans

Critical Dictionary includes contributions from artists, illustrators and photographers including Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, David Campany, Common Culture, Karen Knorr, Ann Lee, Jake Walters and Penelope Umbrico. All entries are fully illustrated with eccentric photography and illustrations, making>Critical Dictionary a unique look at the meanings of words and philosophy.
