Description
1 sheet in box. Title from container. Edition of 15. "Language Möbius is about my speaking process. The loop in my brain goes like this: hearing English, thinking in Korean, translating, then speaking in English. Language Möbius can be cut in half through the center twice. With each cut the sentences of the layers are cut in half, making them illegible. The final two rings lined together symbolize the two language tangled up in my head while in translation, which is why the sentences can't be read. The Möbius strip was letterpress printed using polymer plates on Somerset at Columbia College Chicago's Center for Book and Paper Arts 2011."--Colophon. Strip laid in a turquoise linen fabric covered open top box. Red paper on the bottom of the box. A plastic sleeve encloses the box. Colophon mounted inside the sleeve.
