THE COMMON FISH is a book sculpture which has been created by Franz Wassermann in cooperation with the poet Jurina. To add imagery to the erotic poems of Jurina, Wassermann photocopies his skin. These skin-pictures are printed in red and black on transparencies so they will overlap with the poems in the book. Similar to the human skin, the book sculpture THE COMMON FISH builds layers whose surfaces can be also read haptically with one´s fingertips.
