Presentation by Overlapse :

"A curious tale spun from the life of mysterious hermit Joseph Plummer, who lived in the woods of central New Hampshire in the late 1700s. Two centuries later an unsuspecting man purchased the mythical loner's land and built a hideaway cabin for himself – only to discover the legend of Joseph lurking deep in the seclusion of the forest.

This atmospheric photobook explores our human desire to escape and find peaceful solitude, far from the burdens and apparatus of modern society."
