Scope and Contents

The pages of this book consist of "labyrinthine criss-crossing lines that covered the paper so thickly that it was hard to see any white space at all." Actually a text emerges "Be Just!" from the X's that is taken from "In the Penal Colony" by Franz Kafka.The cross grid image is from "Spot the Ball" rubberstamp. The translucent tracing paper image of eight irregular black dots is derived from a photograph of Moammar Gadhafi's wounds. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
