In Remembering the Future, published by RM, artists Albarrán Cabrera (Angel Albarrán and Anna Cabrera) found a way to string together a series of beautiful and mysterious images that feel otherworldly. They seem like clues to a new place to discover. The combination of images, sequencing, and layout creates a strong visual connection, but I feel like they are asking me to rewire my thought process so I can truly acquaint myself with this world. This book is beautiful and is small in size with a striking front and back cover and a title that doesn’t make sense!
