The kinetic multiplier is a composition composed of 4 independent combinations. By means of the four-division system, 71 different combinations can be combined according to one system. 16 combinations were selected for this book and punched into 20 coloured cards. The observer can, according to his own measure, allow infinite variations of the composition to be created in the interchangeable, coloured pages present in the book by combining, juxtaposing and superimposing, twisting, building, illuminating”.
