Explanation to the current book I pay every day for energy, many many units in whatsoever currency. Simply generalising – every day, year in and year out, I pay for the used energy with my life, totally. The main “mover and shaker” of the text-pictures & concrete poems of the current book is zero. “Zero. Emptiness, mystery, nothingness, death – but also eternity, absolute or space of reality, entirety, cosmic egg or womb, possibility, conceiving interval. Pythagoras examined this sign (known already in Babylon, but mathematically developed mostly in Arabia and India) as containing everything. It was tao, creator of one. In Mayan glyphs zero stood for a cosmic spiral. Zero is also a multiplier based on ten.” (Jack Tresidder. Symbols. Publishing house, 2002) The introdućtory and explanatory texts were translated into English by Tiina Randviir, Krista Mits and Richard Adang.
