Artist's book with the reproduction of 13 texts, that were originally cut on 13 sarcophaguses installed at the Dia Art Foundation of New York from March 1, 1989 until February 18, 1990. Each sarcophagus represents, according to the artist, "the voices of the dead," expressing the lamentations of one infant, two children, and ten adults that they were thinking while they were alive. For the artist book the texts are printed on semi transparent pages that are layered over solid white pages.
