This piece was produced for the Taipei Contemporary Art Center in 2012. The entire amount of the production money given to the artist to make a new piece, was changed down to changed down to small notes and then distributed as as bookmarks within books in public libraries by the author Roberto Bolaño. This act was announced in the press release through the exhibition. The whole idea of chance and accident, and disavowment of any sense of authorship is very important to the artist and work is a nod to Bolano's statement that he began writing novels as he could make money from writing poetry.
