Unter Normalnull Ostsee 1, 2001

The title means: Below the normal zero of the water-level. Anett Frontzek has chosen seven seizes of grey dots to indicate the water-level of a part of the Baltic Sea. She also indicated wrecks using red dots. The book contains the artist's map of the Baltic Sea, "Mecklenburger Bucht", eastern part, solely expressed in these dots printed on transparent paper. The map has been divided into 14 sub-maps on subsequent right pages. Size of the book: 30.3 x 25 cm. Numbered 16/25 and signed by the artist.

Next a book very close related to this book but more elaborated (perforations which look like star constellations)
