Notes: Bora Cosic was born in Zagreb in 1932. He studies Philosophy in Belgrade and became a poet and critic, with a tendency towards surrealism. He was a dissident figure for both the Tito and Milosevic regimes. The present very striking piece of mixed-media book production is a scarce, relatively early work by this significant figure, stylistically close to 'Fluxus'. Cosic's work can be viewed as a 'montage of stumbled across materials' (Carl Markus Grauss).
