Turn & Turn About

Text by Samuel Beckett / Images by Mireille Ribière

Turn and Turn About is a visualization of a passage from Molloy by Samuel Beckett devoted to the narrator’s habit of sucking stones: having collected sixteen pebbles from a beach, he devises an elaborate system to ensure that he sucks each one of them in turn, a seemingly futile exercise.
