"This volume is dedicated to the color YELLOW. The text passages from Ladislaus E. Almásy's 'Schwimmer in der Wüste' (Desert Swimmer) and Wolfgang Hildesheimer's 'Der Ruf in der Wüste' (Cry in the Desert) were printed onto cut up large format posters." (p. 230)
"The [large] screen dots of the posters depicts the [graininess] of the sand, in the eye of the beholder merging to a feeling of glimmering heat, to a floating mirage, before one has even read a line ... one climbs the (text) dune in small steps, after each step a slipping down two." (p. 124-5) (from the catalogue)
