This collection of alphabets, the work of artists, designers, musicians and curators, is at once entertaining and profound. The buzz words in alphabetical order reflect the personality of the authors or their artistic practice: a platform for poetic essays, verbal imagery, free associations. Nasan Tur converts the sounds from comics into a word mixture, for example, while Koki Tanaka demonstrates the possibilities for protest. Seemingly arbitrary lists encounter sequences of words that consolidate into stories. The reader is inclined to follow the instructions.
