Softcover, 32pg. color

"Tobias Zielony is a photographer who has taken pictures of teenagers in different places around the world – amongst others in Trona, a small town in California, formally a city of chemical industry settlements which today has gained sad notoriety due to the inhabitants’ many little laboratories producing Crystal Meth, a drug which keeps those who take it on the go for days. – The publication consists of two parts: Tobias Zielony’s photographs and a text inserted in the middle which Tobias quoted in its entirety from an internet blog about Trona. These disembodied, digital voices from the internet will become an enormous resource for literature in the future."
