This work a one off publication, it has been published under ISBN 978-1-907631-79-5 under the title Unctuous Noirpool Unimirror. As such it becomes a fleeting self-portrait (of whoever is looking at it, at any given time) as a publication.

In 1997 Banner started her own imprint The Vanity Press, with her monumental The Nam. She deploys a playful performative attitude to publishing, in 2009 she issued herself an ISBN number and registered herself as a publication under her own name.
