Further information:
"Text passages from Virginia Woolf's 'To the Lighthouse'/'Zum Leuchtturm' were blind embossed into [the] paper and thus become legible through [the play of] light and shadow." (p. 184) "One needs to manipulate the pages by moving the book around in and out of light in order to read each passage. The text which seems at first to be a random pattern of light and shadow, then becomes coherent... [The photographs] appear to be rather abstract patterns of light, darkness and color. On further examination, one can discern sun-drenched landscapes, nocturnal scenes, and mysteriously serene interiors, captured in full color." (p. 86) (from the catalogue)
