The mitten. An essay, is another collaboration between

Mikhail Karasik and Victor Remishevsky. As was the

case with The tread, the text again was written by

Karasik. This time the design is by Remishevsky. The

text is printed on 12 rounded-off sheets of paper bound

between plastic flyleaves riveted to a felt workman’s

mitten backcover. This back-cover is mounted to the

front cover, another workman’s mitten, with two metal

rings. On the front side there is a silkscreen portrait

of Karasik in black. The mitten is presented in a

clamshell box with blue paper over board. Two booklets

with English and German translations of the essay

are included. The mitten was published in a 30 copy

edition.
