‘Reflexion is the idea finding its form in language which then can find its reflexion in translation.’




The text in the book is from Plato’s Cave. The allegory is about reflexion of reality: a derived, virtual reality. The old book again is the reflexion of this reality. The left page contains the text in Greek, the right page has the Dutch translation.
