Disparition[s]

Disparition[s] is a text art work that consists of a flawed-by-design physical keyboard — a literary device for conceptual writers — and its multi-layered, self-referential textual output. A literal reading renders the artwork the subject of the text, referring readers to French writer, Georges Perec’s La Disparition (translated as “The Void” by Gilbert Adair).
