Features: It's hard to say what this book of poetry and paintings means. With its strange title, it's more like a Pandora's box. The moment it's opened, a series of dreamlike black-and-white "magic paintings" and flowing poetry make the world disappear: headless human bodies, angels composed of many tails and a beautiful human head, a forest filled with faces, open windows, birds with one large round eye and two flying wings. Those or pressed on the paintings, or stamped on the blank spaces of the paper, or standalone pages of poetry weave through them, making the already open and quiet space even more mysterious and empty.
