Do miracles exist?, a collection of texts by Daniil

Kharms compiled by Anna Gerasimova, was made in

a 21 copy edition plus an additional artist proof. The

text is written with a brush and a reed pen and printed

in lithograph using black, with additions in yellow, violet

and mauve paint. Furthermore there is typed text,

transferred to the lithographic stone in violet ink. Some

of the text is printed in mirror image and can only be

read from its reflection. The reflections are created

by collage compositions of silver foil. Beside these

illustrations in text there are illustrations in black as well

as full page illustrations in colour. Text and illustrations

are printed on 8 folded sheets of paper (32 pages)

which are kept unbound in purple cardboard covers

with a yellow dust jacket. The book is kept in a folding

cardboard box covered with purple coloured paper.
