Mark Klett and William L. Fox: Marshall Islands

By: Fox, William L.

A collaboration between photographer Mark Klett and writer, art critic, and cultural geographer William L. Fox, this book emerged out of expeditions the two men were a part of in 2023 and 2024 to the Republic of the Marshall Islands, 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 a series of 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.
