Self-published, circa 1997. Fine copy. Scarce, with single OCLC record located (Minnesota), albeit with only four photographs/emotions.. Artist's book. Duodecimo. SIGNED and hand-numbered as 5 of 25 copies. In a more elemental way than Gillian Wearing (Signs That Say What You Want Them to Say), Barbara Ess here photographs performed emotions: sad, mad, glad, anxious, ambivalent, afraid. Contents: 6 hand-trimmed gelatin silver prints (2 x 2 inches) affixed to staple-bound leaves with gelatin silver print covers, reproducing an image from Duchenne's Mécanisme de la Physionomie Humaine (1876).
