Vinyl lettering on windows (between 28 × 171,5 cm and 115⁠⁠⁠ × 180,5 cm), site-specific installation at the occassion of "Die 'LCB-Editionen' (1968-1989) – eine Re-Lektüre, Literarisches Colloquium Berlin, curated by Regine Ehleiter

All punctuation marks from György Konrád's essay "Gesicht und Maske" (Face and Mask) were transferred to the windows of Literararisches Colloquium Berlin. "Gesicht und Maske" was to be published as part of the "LCB-Editionen", but remained unpublished, resulting in a gap in the bibliography. The several thousand dots, commas, semicolons, question and exclamation marks stretch along the window front and refer to the absence of Konrád's essay.
