Visual homage to that letter of the Spanish alphabet. "The material of this work of art has been enlarged photographically ninety-two times from the impression of the IBM Executive Typewriter Ñ. Ñ is a unique character of the Spanish alphabet. The sound Ñ did not exist in classic Latin, Greek, Hebrew nor Arabic. It was first writen nn. It appears as the initial of a syllable. Most of the words whose initial is Ñ today are words adopted into Spanish from the indigenous American speech, (Quichua, Aymará, Mapuche, Calepino, Lule, Tonocoté, Allentiac, Toba, Mataco, Tehuelche and Ona languages)." -- publisher's statement.
On each page of this book one of eighteen identical photographs of a single billboard in Curacao advertising “Hipnotismo” is laid out next to a Mayan numeral and its Arabic counterpart. Beneath these visual pairings runs a text composed when the artist was back in New York under the influence of Severo Sarduy, Roland Barthes, Guy Debord, Charles Ludlam and especially Raoul Vaneigem. --from Printed Matter
