The Message

THE MESSAGE is a single copy once only edition conceptual publication that contains a fully encrypted text, unreadable without a decryption key known only to the artist. Alongside the ciphered pages is a legally binding contract that the buyer must sign, acknowledging the strict terms of engagement: no unauthorized access, no public disclosure, and no assumption of permanence. THE MESSAGE initiates a ritual of trust, authorship, and consent. The key may be offered—but only in a personal meeting with the artist, at their discretion. If declined, the buyer is contractually obliged to pass the book on to another, restarting the cycle. THE MESSAGE is not only a book—it is a system. A living transmission of secrets. An invisible performance. An experiment in scarcity, authorship, and the ethics of access in the age of data saturation.
