Notes:

Title from box cover. Printed with UV-light on transparent paper. The cover is made of lasercut transparent paper, NT-Pairu-foil and clear foil. "The text is not printed in a classical way but a visible color change within the paper following the exposure to UV rays. The subtle color evokes the image of someone fading away in the deep forest, at the same time it stands for the decaying process of the paper."--Artist's statement. "Text: Stephan Reich. Idee, Gestaltung und Ausführung: Veronika Schäpers. UVC-Beleuchtung auf Transparentkarton. Folien-Einband mit Laserstanzungen aus Transparentpapier. Auflage: 15 arabisch nummerierte Exemplare und 3 römisch nummerierte Exemplare. Karlsruhe, im Oktober 2016."--Colophon on box bottom. Issued with a white felt blanket to wrap around box. "The traditional color for sorrow in Buddhism is white, and a white felt blanket wraps around the box for protection." -- Bookseller's description. Special Collections has copy no. 11 of 15, signed by the artist. IaU
