“The title M/F, which functions as an enigmatic cipher with multiple possible meanings, suggests the initials of Matija Ferlin, the central figure of the book, but also those of his closest collaborator, visual artist Mauricio Ferlin. Other possible readings include male/female, mother/father... M/F can be read as initials, symbol, monogram, wordplay, glyph, or even a potential performance based on the title itself.” — excerpt from a review by Iva Nerina Sibila for plesnascena.hr
