Very good.
Slight creasing and edgewear.
Scarce book self-published by Padin featuring his "fotogramas" or collaged images in conversation with a statement from Bertolt Brecht's book of aphorisms Me-Ti.
A Uruguayan artist, poet, and publisher, Padin edited the influential literary magazines Los Huevos del Plata and OVUM 10 which put him in contact with the international avant garde. A participant in mail art, his artistic and political endeavors landed him in jail in the late '70s and surveilled upon release til the mid '80s, deemed a threat by Uruguay's military dictatorship.
