In Ambigram by Stran22, an image is designed using a rudimentary
optical device, called camera obscura that functions as a hole through
which an image is transmitted by the light leaking in. The leaflet cover
takes aim at both, the duplication – ambi- (both, both sides) and -gram
(recording, display) – and the ambiguity, also in appearance.
»The appearance breaks in two: on ‘what appears to be (true)’ and on
what the truth is about ‘what appears to be (true)’. « (Bunta, Uničiti nič, 28.)
Enough said when talking about deception, which overlooks that: »one’s
self is made of anonymous »substance« and in it, through a rear view
perspective, dissolves without residue.« (Ibid., 8.) /Karlo Hmeljak
