Scope and Contents

This is a fragment of a telephone book that Sit (1917-1987) has torn in a progression such that the narrowest page occurs at the beginning, the widest pages toward the middle, and the torn pages narrow at the end. It is reminiscent of the torn pages, artist books by Buzz Spector and Scott McCarney but Sit tears the pages more crudely. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
