A really great catalogue that reproduces in life-size dimensions a long multi-colored sculptural work of Zoderer's titled Massstab No. 2/01, 2001. The play of scale between the real and its representation gives this accordion a really interesting perceptual and conceptual twist. Created by gluing together small wooden blocks and then painting them the work is 4.7" inches high and 9' 5" inches long. [Note: massstab is German for scale]
On the reverse side is a short statement by the editor of the catalogue accompanied by a quote by the well known Italian writer Oswald Egger that is printed in one continuous line along the back. The quote is from Egger's book The Hearth of Speech (1999) and is a stream of consciousness text ending with "...The second of seeing is over, I dream that I dream and - wake up."
16 double-sided pages, individually 8" x 11.25", and unfolded 15ft, with image of sculpture measuring 9ft long and 5.5" high.
