Victor Burgin here pursues ideas of "desire in and for a city, and a sense, desire of a city" - ideas first explored in his video "Venise" (made for the city of Marseilles in 1993), which reflected on the relationship of San Francisco to Marseilles. Attentive to representations of racism, identity and immigration, the book is designed to provoke a reading of visual art that is tied to contemporary cultural theory.
