ABOVE: PASSPORT SPECIAL BOXED EDITION OF 200
We just got new images and links from Above’s publisher ( ZERO+) about their special boxed edition of Above’s book Passport. Take a look at this enormously big and detailed boxed series. Judging by the looks of this boxed edition there was a lot of time, detail, and money invested in this to make such a stunning project.>>>CLICK HERE TO SEE MORE DETAILS, TECHNICAL SPECS AND TO PURCHASE.<<<<
This is the front cover of the box. We were informed that Above and ZERO + both wanted to mimic every aspect of the real United States passport. The publisher said that Above wanted the same vinyl and gold leaf embossing on the cover of each box to replicate that of the normal US passport.
This is the exterior box that houses inside the actual larger than life Passport. This box set is enormous and details such as printing on the exterior box and spine of the box were included.
