Holes [Special Edition]

This collector’s edition of Holes—consisting of the second printing of the second edition—was released on the occasion of Inexistent Books, a project curated by Jan Steinbach.

Due to an argument with the printer, all the books from this edition were destroyed, except 45 copies rescued by the artist. The special edition was made by bolting one of the recovered books to a brick taken from the demolition site of the print house, thus commenting on the sudden inexistence of both entities and forever forcing them together.
