As the depicted quote from Jorge Luis Borges’ short story \u003cspan class=\"rQesXe MPyX\" style=\"font-family: Google Sans, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);\"\u003e\"The Book of Sand\"\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e addresses the relation between language and reality—in the form of a self-referential system of citations—the art piece is a twofold representation. By isolating the text on a minimalist, semi-translucent plastic sheet, Kosuth strips away all imagery to force the viewer to confront the medium itself. On the other hand, it also holds a subtle irony about the post-modern condition, where original authorship is dissolved into an endless loop of pre-existing language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Klosterfelde Edition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58571033444616,"sku":null,"price":2500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/2346\/2063\/files\/96_230_cropped.jpg?v=1788081420","url":"https:\/\/klosterfelde-edition.myshopify.com\/products\/joseph-kouth-quoted-1995","provider":"Klosterfelde Edition ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
