This poem has to be read from cards, a characteristic feature
in the work of Lev Rubinshtein (born 1947). On the first card it
reads:
It all begins.
Getting around – here.
But let’s go on…
In all there are 52 cards that have to be read out aloud on
stage. Goppe designed a book in which on its pages each time
are printed a small number of those texts. His illustrations are
linocuts of which the originals cutting plates are added to the
book. The black linocuts show square figures and motives in a
heavy almost angular style within a triangular confinement.
