In Love With Unreality, is a mini artist’s book in the format of the old Madrid Metro ticket that takes its title from a phrase in the poem Coney Island of Mind by Ferlinghetti.
The twelve sentences of which it is composed, can be read when shuffling the twelve tickets.
By means of the printing of the poems on the tickets, a metaphor of the trip and the literature was established.
