In a different iteration of the Semantic Prime work, Lazerwitz read through texts and redacted everything that was not a semantic prime. Where images were present, Lazerwitz decided to remove the subject from the background. When the project started, Lazerwitz read the Bible and the dictionary. However, during the Covid-19 lockdowns, Lazerwitz picked up this part of her practice again by buying books by the foot and reading through them applying the same procedure. This piece was a leaflet taken from a book that Lazerwitz bought during lockdown, and she presents separately as an independent work that is part of the series of books. Together the books make up the Library of Babel, which is an expanding collection of redacted texts that eventually could make up all possible combinations of primes to represent all possible stories and meanings.
