At the abandon/hope exhibition at the Spiral garden in Tokyo, a very beautiful exhibition catalogue was released. The book is a 2-volume set, one volume is “Abandon” (which features the Tokyo works), and the other is “Hope” (the Uno works) and was released in 3 versions.
These are the 3 versions:

– Special Version II:
Limited to 250 copies with David’s signature, including the ‘playbutton’ device of the sound created for the exhibition.
– Normal Version:
