Scope and Contents

The short poems by Perec were done in 1976-1977 and are presented in their original format and in addition, in a form compacting the poems without spaces between the words creating a grid of 14 x 14 letters. A letter picture, consisting of one large capital letter and clusters of smaller letters, is printed on a page facing the intaglio colored prints by Boni. The letters are taken from the words in the first line of Perec's poem. The prints incorporate abstract components, letters, and fragments of words and numbers. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
