Properties of Sin

The cover of the book refers to the most important issue concerning sex today, which all manuals in this age of AIDS should emphasize: WEAR CONDOMS. The second point of the book is to use the word "sin" very loosely throughout the text, to play on words dealing with sex. Therefore, I have set up 70 words ending with the word SIN, displaying it as a kind of index, putting SIN at the tail end of things that we should be concerned with. I use collage (drawings, paper cuttings and images of sex) in a parody of pornography as well as other issues found in books on sex.
