"In memory, September 11th 2001"--Colophon
Each leaf of heavy paper stock has cut-out footprint of the World Trade Center. The first leaves consist of a single pinhole die-cut representing the antenna; the following one hundred and twenty leaves with two identical square die-cuts represent each floor of the towers, and the final leaf is a die-cut footprint of the financial district street grid surrounding the twin towers.
"A solid white block of thick stock cardboard pages, the book's only 'text' consists of one pinhole and two identical squares die-cut into each of its one-hundred-and-twenty pages - one for each story of the towers including the antenna mast. These removed elements lead the reader floor by floor through the missing buildings towards the final page where the footprint of the entire site of the World Trade Center is die-cut into a delicate lattice of absent structures"--Printed Matter Inc. website.
