Miniature Obscure, No. 2: Substitute, 1993
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.
Miniature Obscure, No. 3: Animal, 1993
Miniature Obscure, No. 6: Between, 1996
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. Most of the artwork relates directly to the theme of this assembling, e.g., 'zwischen' in German, 'between' in English. This theme is expressed in both verbal and visual images. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
Miniature Obscure, No. 7: Culinary, 1997
Cards and objects of the same dimensions are stacked into a pyramid shaped, brightly printed, colored box. The artists and poets contributed one or several pieces to this assembling. The ceramic object made by Axel Fabry is a replica of a sunny-side up egg. The booklet is made like a sandwich. All other sheets relate to the theme of food. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
