Each of the work’s chapters contains three parts: on the left, a portrait panel, an ordered set of portraits of every living relative of the “point person” central to each chapter; in the center, an annotation panel, a written description of the events that inspired Simon’s research into the bloodline; and on the right, a footnote panel, documentary images related to the narrative events.

This artwork was featured in the UCCA exhibition “Taryn Simon: A Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters I-XVIII,” 2013
