This book with the subject "signsystem of a crisis" portrays the story of Africa by using the example of the Congo and its neighbouring countries, the geopolitical conflicts of the Cold War, the situation that led to Cuba´s intervention 1965, Che Guevara´s tragicomical time in the african jungle and the difficult happenings thereafter.
On the basis of texts, photos, illustrations and a graphical system of symbols on 13 levels, the content gets communicated to the viewer. Together with a banner that combines all symbols, the book printed on customary brown wrapping paper is placed in a wooden slipcase.
