Catalogue Note
“I found a carbon paper by chance and I was attracted first by the color and because it was somehow reminding me of my childhood, when primary school teachers used it to print multiples copies of homework for all of us, schoolboys. At the same time Carbon paper is a surreptitious technology – very easy, very cheap, very clandestine. You don’t need a lot of devices so that was perfectly fitting with revolutionary targets.”
