For this stunningly produced, profoundly moving, and quietly imposing monograph on loss, photographer David Maisel gained access to an abandoned building at a mental hospital. In a locked room, he found neatly shelved copper canisters numbered 1 to 5,121, alive with evidence of chemical reaction at the seams-as if the contents were escaping in crystalline blooms of color. What's inside these enigmatic vessels? The cremains of long-forgotten patients.
