This artist book is part of a series that compiles several quotes by different authors, each of whom uses and ultimately defines the concept of utopia.
Most of the authors presented here don't necessarily write primarily about utopia; nevertheless they bring up the term as a conceptual frame.

The book holds pieces of cardboard cut into shapes corresponding to the areas that the quotes occupy in the original printed text.
Every year I produce a similar book, compiling the quotes that I have read that year. I have come across these quotes while reading about different topics since 2005.
