Published out of Reykjavik, On the Natural History of Unrest contains a large collection of black and white photographs and bitmap images that depict large crowds at protests or other activist events.

The wide cropping of the selected photographs, along with the conspicuous absence of contextualizing descriptions or text produces an enlarging effect on the subject matter; the clarity with which each event is presented can be studied in great detail, with little to distract the viewer from participating in a recount of each circumstance shown.

The publication features a swiss binding and a soft orange cover with monochrome, bitmap images on its front and back.
