2022


In 2019, a heavily-redacted version of the Mueller Report was made public. On the thirteenth of May this year, another heavily-redacted addendum was made public as part of the Paul Manafort sentencing, the Mueller Manafort Response.

If you take both of these documents, add them together, and shrunk every page down such that 486 pages fit on a 44 x 30 inch sheet of paper, it’d look like the black and white image below. Reading left to right, row one to two, etc. Every raised bar is redacted text.

Hey Bob Mueller, I cannot read this.


We stand on the shoulders of giants.
Profound thanks to Alex Thompson at Pagoda Arts, Emily York and Courtney Sennish at Crown Point Press, Kate Randall (invisible ink, burn art history, burn safety), Ian Roxbourough (combustion).
