Viggo Mortensen presents new contexts for old feelings, trusting the formation of sentences that may or may not take me anywhere and the images that may or may not show us something we can see. Configurations of photographs and words captured near and far, shown clearly or hardly at all, in a continuing effort to trail lost memory and hold mirror shards to what we discard.

This fully authorized companion to the second part of Peter Jackson's acclaimed trilogy offers a vibrant exploration of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth as depicted in the film. With a special introduction by Viggo Mortensen, who portrays Aragorn, this full-color guide features over 100 stunning photographs, including exclusive images of Gollum, Treebeard, and the battle of Helm's Deep. The narrative begins by recounting events from The Fellowship of the Ring before delving into the distinct journeys of the characters in The Two Towers. It covers Frodo and Sam's perilous trek towards Mordor, shadowed by the elusive Gollum; Merry and Pippin's capture by the menacing Uruk-hai, leading them to a fateful encounter with Saruman at Isengard; and the pursuit of the kidnapped hobbits by Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli across Rohan and into Fangorn Forest. Additionally, the companion includes a new map of Rohan and Gondor, along with a detailed battle plan of the critical events at Helm's Deep, where the Free Peoples of Middle-earth make a valiant stand against Saruman's forces. Readers are taken on an unforgettable journey through the eerie Dead Marshes, the enchanting yet treacherous Ithilien, the majestic kingdom of Rohan, and the ancient stronghold of Helm's Deep, providing a rich introduction to the film.

A fully illustrated visual guide to the second in the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, taking the reader on a journey into the world of Peter Jackson's epic. This is a large-format full-colour photographic encyclopedic guide to the characters, places, landscapes, artefacts, battles, and costumes as seen in the film. It features many images exclusive to this edition together with detailed informative text and specially commissioned extras.

This long awaited second publication by the highly recognized film actor and artist/poet, Viggo Mortensen melds his acutely sensitive ability to intertwine words, paintings and photography into one lyrical conceptual landscape. Working like a personal diary, SignLanguage, takes us on a visual journey into the soul of Mortensen's creative forces. His diary-based photographs, taken while filming 'The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Rings' become dream-like landscapes shrouded in mystery and suspense while his multi-layered paintings entwine themselves around stanzas of poetry. The melding of all three forces allows the reader to become acutely aware of the details surrounding the artists existence, a multiple of split-second images burned into the mind of a thousand different places. SignLanguage exquisitely features extensive color and black and white reproductions of both his photographic works and his intensely personal collage based paintings, partly intertwined in an informative essay by international critic and poet, Kevin Power. Special highlights also include unique photographs by Mortensen while on location during the filming of 'The Lord of the The Fellowship of the Ring'.
