Frammenti

Antonio Barrese - 1969
The cultural scenario behind this work was concrete poetry and the literary experimentalism of the Gruppo 63, and the work of Nanni Balestrini in particular. Frammenti … is made up of six strips folded to form a pentagon. Each strip is formed by six trapezia, each containing a word chosen at random from a dictionary. The allusion in the title to the library of Babel is a tribute to Jorge Luis Borges
