This is an important landmark - one of the first conceptual artist's books ("Photobook"). Here is the alphabet imagined as never before. It is choreographed by the beautiful dancer Milca Mayerova into a brilliant photo-ballet in twenty-four hypnotic poses. Each move in the dance is made to the visual counterpoint of Karel Teige's astonishing typographic music: as angular as jazz, as syncopated as Stravinsky!
