While visibly alluding to the film noir genre, Dead Man's Hand is a series of photographs and collected ephemera that reference the artist's fascination with photographic history from the middle of the 20th century, particularly crime photography and pin-ups. The images are fictions, painstakingly crafted as scale-models, then carefully lit and photographed in the studio. In order to lend a feeling of authenticity, the artist photographed the sets with a vintage Speed Graflex camera, the same 4x5 camera that was used by press photographers at the time. The original photographs were then manually altered to appear as actually press photos, with painted edits and crop marks. The additional content in the book are found 'pin-ups' and actual clippings from vintage detective magazines. The text of the book is a piece of fiction written by Sheila Heti, which is presented as a type-written letter. The book is housed in a hand-made linen box, and was produced in an edition of 200. Pur alludendo visibilmente al genere cinematografico noir, Dead Man's Hand presenta una serie di fotografie ed ephemera ritrovati che fanno riferimento alla fascinazione dell'artista per la storia della fotografia della metà del XX secolo, in particolare la fotografia criminale e quella di pin-up. Le immagini sono finte, accuratamente realizzate come modelli in scala, poi illuminate e fotografate in studio. Per dare una sensazione di autenticità, l'artista ha fotografato i set da lui costruiti con una fotocamera vintage Speed Graflex, la stessa fotocamera 4x5 che veniva usata dai fotografi della stampa all'epoca. Le fotografie originali sono state poi alterate manualmente per apparire come foto reali. Il contenuto aggiuntivo del libro consiste in foto vere di pin-up e ritagli da riviste poliziesche d'epoca. Il testo del libro è un pezzo scritto da Sheila Heti, presentato come una lettera scritta a macchina, Edizione a cura dell'Artista, 2013, 0<
