NEW FLUX YEAR. REFLUX EDITIONS. 1983.

New York, NY: ReFlux Editions, 1983

Approx. 3.5 x 5.7 x 2 cm., offset-printed paper matchbox, containing a multitude of vintage tiny printed papers (“snowflakes”) which on opening are thrown/dropped into the air as the bottom of the inner box has been cut away. Some boxes in this Reflux edition are vintage, some slightly later but from the original source (the Japanese gift shop Azuma in New York City) – the box here is a rather lovely lenticular image of swimming fishes which can be moved back and forth to show a different angle of the scene. Each matchbox within the edition was unique. Now very scarce even as a second or “continuation” edition.
