An ephemeral image as a kind of mirage is seen when one looks straight into the balls eye. A black and white printed iris is reflected in the mirror at the rear of the glass ball. As a miniaturized image the spiral iris construction is ingeniously appearing with an illusionistic result! Due to a complicated production technique a large part of the limited edition was mis-produced and destroyed, hence more than rare.

Seven bullet holes are randomly shot into the blank pages of this artist book. The cover has residue of gun powder. The publisher suggests that Kendell Geers’ exile from his homeland of South Africa and its violence during Apartheid inspired him to make this multiple with gun shots. The sooth of gunpowder is spread over the front of the cover and the cellophane bag has created several hardly visible hair thin scratches in the layer of sooth.

In May 2002, Gerhard Richter photographed 216 details of his “Abstraktes Bild Nr 648-2”, 1987. Working over a period of several weeks, Richter combined these 10 x 15 cm details with 165 texts on the Iraq war, published in the German FAZ newspaper on March 20 and 21. ‘War Cut’ follows an ever denser rhythm in which texts and gaps take up the same amount of space as the pictures, creating a strictly composed work of open and closed layouts and their mirror images. A conceptual artist’s book about the war in Iraq and one may say war in general communicated through newspapers.
