Exploring the mysterious realm beneath the ocean's surface, the second publication in the FUTURE series delves into a world that feels both close and alien. Utilizing advanced technology, artists Taiyo Onorato and Nico Krebs investigate the deep sea, highlighting the tension between exploration and potential exploitation. This vast underwater domain, rich with imagination and possibility, serves as a canvas for their work, blending research with fiction and prompting reflections on humanity's origins and its environmental impact.

The book captures a three-year journey through the United States by Taiyo Onorato and Nico Krebs, exploring the interplay between reality and its invention through their photographic series, The Great Unreal. It delves into themes of mysticism and demystification while manipulating a rich array of visual icons. Their approach emphasizes chance and change, creating a network of images that challenge perceptions of reality. Collaborating with designers Megi Zumstein and Claudio Barandun, the work presents a purely visual narrative, inviting readers to engage with the complexities of the American landscape.

FUTURE is a series of 5–6 publications by Taiyo Onorato & Nico Krebs, released by Edition Patrick Frey over the coming years. The first, FUTURE MEMORIES, explores how our perception of the future has evolved and its impact on our present feelings. It combines analog photography with digital technologies, creating a visual world that oscillates between childhood optimism and a dystopian present.
