| The volume contains a passage of Jorge Luis Borges' tale 'Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius' (in German translation). With found aerial photographs of London and New York and images of people, graphics, objects which suggest themselves as portraits of those nouns, mentioned in the text, those involved in the attempt to create the new world.
"If Orbis Tertius is a secret society of the early 17th century and its 'post review of an illusionary world', then this is about a time which had a latent tendency to reality distorting depictions." (p. 97) (from the catalogue) |
