“The Art of the Encylopedia,” is a 64-page book divided into seven sections, that was presented as a limited edition book in 1988 with poet-writer Ferdinand Schmatz for Edition Artelier, in Graz, at the Galerie Peter Pakesch, Graz. It is a quasi-scientific study, which questions the ability of systems, charts, and maps, to indicate the substance of reality. “Atlas” is a series of thirty paper collages using highly colorful scientific journals and geography books, as well as abstract forms and graphs, which create a lexicon of the universe, or cosmology, both universal and personal to Zobernig. The third volume in the tripartite catalogue is a document of the Modena exhibition, containing images, as well essays, by Angela Vettese, Cornelia Lauf, and Laura Bruni, as well as the exhibition’s sponsors. The third volume is in Italian and English. All three are encased in a cardboard slipcover.roduced on occasion of the artist’s exhibition in Modena.
