# 10: APPROPRIATION with guest speaker Michalis Pichler

It appears to me, that the signature of the author, be it an artist, cineast or poet, seems to be the beginning of the system of lies, that all poets, all artists try to establish, to defend themselves, I do not know exactly against what. M.B.

Der Einzige und sein Eigentum

Der Einzige und sein Eigentum

Michalis  Pichler, 2009

appropriation/ new vision of the manifest of individual anarchism as published 1844 by Max Stirner under the very same title (The Ego and Its Own). The chapter titles and headers have been maintained, while the main text has been edited down to include first-person-signifiers only, and a lot of white floating around it. layout, typeset and dimensions follow the German version, which has been in print almost unchanged for the last 37 years by Reclam Universal-Bibliothek.

“The use of the page in artists‘s books or for projects within the context of art magazines, for example, is an established genre. However, it is only rarely in this history that these uses of the page have become reflections on the nature of the book, the page or the manuscript itself, or on the particularity of a subjective encounter with this familiar –doubled - space.
