"That night we visited the National Library. Fruitlessly we exhausted atlases, catalogues, yearbooks of geographical societies, memoirs of travellers and historians – nobody had ever been in Uqbar. Neither did the general index of Bioy’s encyclopedia show the name."
Jorge Luis Borges "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius"
The volume deals with the theme of the unknown, of not discovered or hidden things and shows this mainly in pictural ways: white spots in old maps and atlases, the X-sign, fragments, the unknown land Uqbar. The graphics were printed with polymer-plates. Some pages are found material of maps and of a book about the Iberian Peninsula, which was printed in the sixties. Some other pages have collages made up of found material. Design, handset and letterpress: Peter Malutzki. 128 pages, printed paperboard. Flörsheim am Main 2003.
