This one of only 13 édition-de-tête examples with the book of poems by Ghérasim Luca printed on acetate film. Each copy of this deluxe edition is contained in an acrylic Altuglas casing which serves as a support for Piotr Kowalski's contribution which is composed of six elements: a set of mirrors (concave, flat and convex) in which three cubes of decreasing volume are reflected; the sets of mirrors were cut out of vacuum aluminized optical glass with silica protection; the cubes were built in Altuglas. Each copy is numbered and signed with a steel point by Kowalski on the front cover of the Altuglas casing, and in India ink by Luca and the publisher on the justification page. Complete with the translucent 7-inch 45rpm flexi-disc Othering of “Quart d'heure de culture métaphysique†as spoken by the author, Ghérasim Luca.
