The round cardboard case measuring 6.7" in diameter is made from handmade pulp such that bits of fragmented texts appear on its surface. Its lid is perforated in the center. The names of the contributors are printed on two concertinas made from red paper. One of the works has a background of the same word repetively printed in tight grid with two large empty letters, e.g., ER, superimposed = Ersatz (substitute). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The images deal with interpretations of self-portraits as concrete, visual, and conventional poetic ideas. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Cards and objects of the same dimensions are stacked between two square, thick wooden plywood boards that are held together by two long screws with flanged nuts. The word "between" is printed on the cover board and blind embossed on the dividing handmade thick paper sheets.

This theme is expressed in both verbal and visual images. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
