Additional notes:
This is a screenprinted artists' book that began with a word list they started in 2001. For this book the list was revised, and each artist contributed new words to it offering a new perspective. The photographs were taken by the artists while working together over ten years. The artists quote in their book the 1897 poem by Stéphane Mallarmé, "Un Coup de Dés Jamais N'Abolira Le Hassard" as reinterpreted by the Belgian artist, Marcel Broodthaers in 1969. The paper is Cristalla Transparent from Romerturm FeinPapiere. The typeface is Sabon.

Housed in a brown cardboard box with the title on the top and the colophon on the bottom. Screwpost binding with thick plastic covers.
