Banner’s rear view mirror work ISBN 978-1-913983-05-5 (2021) is both a publication and a sculpture. Banner registered the work as a publication: ‘ISBN 978-1-913983-05-5’ under the title of Gods with Anuses. It refers to the human body and the body of the aircraft. This phrase comments with humour on our vanity - on a human-centered worldview, that sees humans obsessed with existing beyond nature, to resist our entropic selves, though in the end humans and animals will eventually return to nature. The Latin word ‘Annus’, which has a pronunciation similar to ‘Anuses’, means ‘the event of the year’ in which a disease or war occurred. ISBN 978-1-913983-05-5, hung like a tombstone between Falcon and Pranayama Organ, is a marker, in the dystopian contemporary tragic reality of the human world, especially the human view of nature emphasises that it is time for a comprehensive review.
