The vandal's act was not so much against the form, the physicality of the
book, as much as the content of the books. The books are archived in the
Library following the Dewey decimal system. Doing various searches having
as keywords gay, lesbian, feminist and AIDS subjects, I came up with a
large number of CALL NUMBERS. For each call number I used a different type
of font reiterating various fonts used for the typesetting and printing of
different books. I created an “anonymous” book that symbolizes each of the
books vandalized. The cover, as form, and the title are the sum of all the
call numbers, while the BOOKMARK stands as a metaphor for the subjects
contained in the vandalized books.
