Specialist Notes
"This autobiographical book dedicated to the art, fashion, music of the Chicks on Speed, apparently cheap but highly refined in terms of production, combines a variety of pages of different sizes. The extravagant cover is only the starting point of the purely random "cut-and-paste" aesthetic that characterizes a publication whose only straight line is represented by the spine. Each section was previously trimmed with different sizes or shapes; after tying the various sections combine, mutually excluding each other; and as the pages are turned, the fragments of the other sections are revealed. This uneven style is further accentuated by the use of different types of paper: newsprint, thin and low-quality coated paper and uncoated paper. " (sheet no. B057).
