This object was created during a performance in collaboration with the poet Dominik Steiger on 09/27/1984 at the gallery Brigitta Rosenberg (Schwarz p. 134).
The performance piece requires players to put an equal number of anagram cards into the two little boxes before alternately placing them side by side to form an arbitrary poem.
