Book Of Sand
The ‘Book of Sand’ by Jorge Luis Borges and the subsequent short story ‘…thy rope of sands…’ written by George Herbert (1593-1623) base their ideas on infinity, there is no beginning to the book or an ending. The pages are numbed with odd numbers to portray this ideal. Their work supposedly includes puzzles or some kind of code that you can attempt to crack and solve. These texts give good examples of how a narrative can be used in a different way.

Nowa ksiazka (New Book)
From what I have experienced watching De Zbigniew Rybczynski’s ‘Tango’, I wanted to take a look at more of his work. I found that there was so much more of his work to be inspired from. One in particular is ‘Nowa ksiazka’ (New Book) 1975. The film is split in to nine screens, and there is something different happening in each one. The characters in the film go into one screen and out into another, but you don’t know where they are going until they appear in of the other screens. The sound track to the film is deliberately bad to the point that it almost sounds good in relation to the footage shown (if that makes sense). I found the narrative and the way it was looped extremely clever.
