"Tenderenda the Fantast is a visionary novella written by Hugo Ball, the father of the Dada movement in Switzerland. the book was to be released in 1922, illustrated with woodcuts by Hans Arp. It never happened and Ball's manuscript gathered dust until it was finally published in 1967. I lifted short phrases from Ball's book and added a few words. I made the collages to go along." - Trent Harris.
