cARTe / Tzara T ; Isou I ; Oisteanu V., 1993
Includes an essay about the exhibition of Romanian artist books by Andrei Plesu, "Image, Writing, Breathing," in which he concludes: "And the microcosmic spirit of wind is the breath (k'i). Writing is an embodied breathing, a hieroglyph of the vital soul itself. And in a sense, the exhibition we ponder over is a discourse about breathing, about the meaningful rhythms of spontaneity." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
