Description |
Twelve different paperback copies of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, reprinted using text files downloaded from different online sources. As unique copies, the interior text is modified by the digitization of the novel – some include Google ads, mistakes, and mistranslations of the original. |
Statement |
Conrad's 1899 novel was a layered narrative exploration of colonialism, a search for a shadowy figure in a "Heart of Darkness." By creating physical books from digital files, the text further becomes modified, adding a layer of distance, mistranslation, but perhaps also functions as an inadvertent rewriting. |
