It started as a normal day in Second Life. The sun rose at the place defined in the sim settings, there was almost no lag, everything was still normal.
Two friends, Mara Telling and Crash Landers, decided to take a trip to Grauland. On the way, they approached a rocky knoll and, whether it was the view or their state of mind, decided to name the knoll "Penis Rock" and go for a picnic on top. They took a few pictures of their walk, which they posted on Flickr.
Quite by chance, I discovered these pictures, and thought that such a discovery deserved a few more pictures. Without knowing it, I had set the world on fire.
The crowds soon arrived, each one wanting a selfie in front of the Penis Rock.
The story had to be recorded. Onceagain, a famous gallery owner from SL collected the images to exhibit them in a collective show.
This booklet retraces this exhibition.

History
The sim was only a few days old. Everything indicated that it was going to be a deadly bore, with late trains, stupid streets with frozen and rusted cars, deserted churches and a restaurant serving bad food.
Even the local motel had no electricity, which was a vital problem.
In short, this version of Grauland was destined to be quickly and permanently forgotten.
And yet...
