Object Description: Fight Club is part of series Lost and Gained in Translation, a body of work that is concerned with the intersection of language, books and visual culture in mass media. Part of Coupland’s process was to use a website search engine to translate texts out of and back into English. The results were photocopied onto every available colour of paper at a Kinko's copy outlet and then arranged in large, text-based mosaics. This series gestures toward both the mechanics and the outcomes of telling stories through a strong interest in design and typography.
