Further information:
ZÄHLEN (with subtitle) ERZÄHLEN translates COUNT RECOUNT. Subtitled: With 18 colour plates and numbers one to three thousand two hundred and thirty seven including four hundred and fifty six prime numbers. "The volume deals with the topic of counting. It contains ... several texts on the topic from Jorge Luis Borges, Lewis Carroll, Douglas R. Hofstadter, Oliver Sacks, Arno Schmidt, Kurt Schwitters and others." (p. 234) "Do numbers actually have a poetic quality? Do numbers generate meaning? Numbers are attributed cosmological and ontological qualities. They represent a counted object. But in fact they are only symbols of formal quantities that are operationally defined." (p.127) (from the catalogue)
