    TitelTatvan
    Vervaardiger Stanley Brouwn (vervaardiger)‎, Gallerie Aktionsraum 1 (uitgever)‎
    BeschrijvingSometimes refered to as X-Tatwan (as it appears on the inner title page) this is Brouwn's first conceptual artist's book. Tatvan is a town in Turkey where the railway abruptly ends.* Brouwn traveled there to talk photographs of an imaginary railway extension. These, however, are not featured in the book. The book consists of single page 'conceived' distances between various locations, which are listed only as the variable 'x'. For example:
    x - Tatwan 1000 000 000 000 000 000 000 km
    or
    x - Tatwan 1000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 km
    The lengthy distances suggest that Brouwn intended his imaginary railway extension to be interplanetary.
