During the Cold War, the United States detonated over 1,000 nuclear weapons in the Nevada desert. Each test was given a name and – weirdly – a logo. Literal yet surreal, Distant Zenith collects these handmade artifacts that appear largely unconnected with the system that produced them.
The book is created by Paul Morgan and published under his imprint Current Editions (with Jessalyn Aaland) which celebrates vernacular histories and niche artifacts.
