Scope and Contents

Each print has a large abstract shape onto which a Swedish text has been printed in a conventional layout. The colors of the predominant shape differ among the prints, viz., green, brown, orange and yellow. A 4 x 10 grid of the same word is repeated on each of the four prints, e.g., pluttsang, pluttsalong, pluttang, and pluttsarong. There are a few English phrases in the poem such as man in rain, grotto with pleasure, irridescent light, and Strategic Air Command. Each print depicts a coloured, imaginitive map, with text on each map. The first print also contains "Rules of the game". This is explained to be a project or an alternative for a "Game-painting": "Dr. Schweitzer s last mission". A kind of linguistic-political game for four players. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
