Visionaire 21 : Deck Of Cards / The Diamond Issue

Issue 21 of Visionaire edited by Stephen Gan featuring a large-scale deck of cards, with each card suite designed by different art directors. Housed in a blue vinyl locked jewelry box with a key, within a white box hot stamped with gold lettering. One issue out of the edition of 3,000 included a real diamond. Could it be this one? "With 21 DECK OF CARDS, Visionaire handed over entire series of images (in this case, card suits) to individual art directors. Fabien Baron conceived the House of Hearts as a meditation on motion with dancer Ushio Amagatsu of Sankai Juku. M/M, Paris realized the House of Spades in a variety of Parisian butcher shops. Lee Swillingham and Stuart Spalding portrayed the House of Clubs in nightclubs. The House of Diamonds was conceived by 13 artists. Each image incorporates diamonds courtesy of the Diamond Information Center, DeBeers and H. Stern. Issues are packaged in individual jewelry boxes, each with its own lock and key." -- publisher's statement.
