Serendipities: Language and Lunacy
Columbia University Press, New York, New York, 1998
Description
The target audience for this book is the general reader, one familiar with Umberto Eco and interested in a slim volume exploring the benefits resultant of misunderstandings. The designer explored, visually, the nature of surfaces as a vehicle for understanding. By laying the title over itself, she created a surrealist sense of a shadow not relating to the image that is casting it. An idea of beauty through confusion which seems to address Eco’s basic argument.
