Vito Drago's book-collage-constructions are the result of his long obsession with books; he subverts their status as repositories of knowledge by deletion and obliteration. This piece is from his on-going LDN project which he describes as 'my homage to London'. It is a journey through all the places that have become significant to me; a metaphor for being HERE - NOW.'
