First edition of Remembering the future by Mark Klett. (2026) First impression Large format hardcover in new condition. Pages clean, binding firm 160 pages Language: English About This monograph—a collaboration between photographer Mark Klett and writer, art critic, and cultural geographer William L. Fox—emerged from expeditions the two men were a part of in 2023 and 2024 to the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), a remote nation in the mid Pacific. The book extends the work of their previous collaboration, The Half Life of History (Radius Books, 2011), engaging the RMI’s devastating nuclear legacy after WWII, and continues into the present with the existential threat of climate change. Weaving together historic images with photographs Klett took on these trips and Fox’s writings in the form of both narrative journal entries and short essays, the project uses the case study of this small island nation to consider future implications of nuclear testing and accelerating climate crises for the entire planet.
