Scope and Contents

Four Russian and four German artists took part in this book project. Each artist made five lithographs, so that there are 40 in the book; some are hand colored. The prints were made from self-chosen texts from the other country. The prints were horizontally divided such that the texts and images can be mixed from the top to bottom by the viewer. The covers are black & white photographs of the doors of a passenger train. Most of the contributions are accompanied by printed handwritten texts. Note that Daniil Charmes listed in this book is also spelled as Daniel Kharms; both spellings are listed as contributors. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
