      ab: This article provides information on the book Floh by Tacita Dean. Dean produced her fourth artist's book in 2001. The German word Floh means flea as in flea market. Inside are 163 photographs, all found by Dean in flea markets in various cities in Europe and U.S. over a seven year period. Dean has called Floh a book without words; indeed the title and her signature were the only inscriptions in the volume.
