A specific approach toward objects, a distancing from the encumbrance of meaning, is apparent in “Edicija Oho” [Oho Edition], where literature and visual art are reduced to objectivity. Artists such as M. Pogačnik, I. Geister, M. Hanžek, M. Matanović, R. Dreja and others created their “books” by printing objects, drawings and sentences on single pages placed in small boxes. Books are objects, with their pages being various forms that can be handled, jumbled letters that must be arranged to form a sentence. A book should be heard, looked through … . It is an “open work” one which, demonstrating “reistic” tautology, suggests a game. B.S.
