Dieter Roth
«Letter»

By transferring elements of 'concrete poetry' into his inter-media work in diverse ways, Diter Rot was able to avoid the formalism of the constructed text images of his period. Graphics, 'literary sausages', objects, books, object books and films were all different expressive means of his unwavering, but uncompletable, work on the universal Non-Sense, as Rot explained: 'The more accurate a description to be delivered by a sentence, the longer it has to be, or, in fact: the longer it wants to become. In order to make a precise point, the sentence must strive towards confusing or abstruse length.'
