In a series of poetic fragments and quotations Campbell Robinson improvises with Debord's themes as revealed in the footnotes to this essay. Political assassination and word death; the revolution of the everyday and the failure to realise the utopian dreams of the 60s; the breakdown of solidarity and the threat of terrorisms in people's daily lives are among the subjects Campbell Robinson touches upon. However, at no point does the piece become proscriptive or didactic, maintaining throughout the possibility of 'both\/and' rather than 'either\/or'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFootnotes follows on from Campbell Robinson's earlier texts collected in \u003cem\u003eBlue Solitude\u003c\/em\u003e, also issued by Knives Forks Spoons Press, by employing a combination of non-illustrative photos taken by the author and a calligraphic text layout.
