BUCHSTABE is a word meaning letter in English (and in Dutch), originally a piece of beechwood carved out to cover with ink to press on paper to compose a word taking place in a sentence. The word BUCHSTABE printed on film makes my mind follow its being printed. Two words printed in different fonts, and projected on top of each other make as much sense as a sentence pointing out the beauty of the original printing process.
