Arnaud Desjardin's A Book on Books on Artists' Books is a catalogue of artists' books whilst being an artist's book (so should it be in A Book on Books on Artists' Books?). Or The Pitch/The Ticket episode of Seinfeld (a sitcom "about nothing") where George and Jerry pitch the idea of a sitcom "about nothing". I've heard that Inception, the Christopher Nolan film is another example but I couldn't watch more than the first ten minutes - sorry.

How many reflective to and fro's of the mise en abyme does it take for it to bcome uncanny?
If I were to put a link to my Instagram accout here, you could go look at that page and then follow nother link back to here.
