 Item — Box: 129
Identifier: CC-00677-693

Scope and Contents

Wolf writes that "the Asian appearance of the text is created by overprinting a German text, inspired by stories told by the artist's German speaking son, who lives as a journalist in Hong Kong." Five distinct, folded booklets are fastened to the front (black) and back (red) covers; there is no spine. The book is wrapped with 2 colored paper tapes which are held by the long wooden stick. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
