The event was a precursor to the art movement of Situationism. This work was composed by crumpling unrecognizable images and printing them in black and white on a monoduplicator device as a single copy. These prints were then collaged onto a raised block of masonite then fixed as a grid onto a painted black panel. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
