Mikhail Karasik Рыба F(in)ish St. Petersburg, 2006 210 x 435 mm. Edition: 37. Copy no. 10/37 |
F(in)ish by Karasik combines the different meanings of the Russian word Ryba. Normally is translated as Fish, but it is also the exclamation that is shouted when placing the last domino to win the game and in printing it refers to a mock up of the book. In appearance, this book comes closest to the second meaning of the word: on each right hand page there is are domino style numbers while the opposite page has articles, tales, and essays in Russian and English. In total there are 56 pages of black paper with the text and dominoes printed by silkscreen in white. The book, printed in a 37 copy edition, is kept in a black cardboard box printed with a white silkscreen. |
