Scope and Contents

The translucent pages of varied colors are printed with headings of different musical tempos in Italian. These overlay photographs of a male nude which were done by Andreas Pohlmann. The figure is photographed realistically and in distorted views done either contemporaneously or in a dark room manipulation. The poems printed together with drips of colored inks relate to a disturbed mental state. The words have been appropriated from musical lyrics of the rock groups, U2, The Beatles, Rainbirds, and Chris Rea. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
