As a leitmotif featured in many works by S&T, the rahlé in Underage Page (extended–turquoise) refers to the act of reading. Before printing became affordable, reading was in fact a collective and oral phenomenon, in particular for holy texts. As an intimate, private activity, the history of reading is a relatively recent one. Underage Page stresses this shift in the history of reading as constitutive both of a community and individual subjectivities; a shift that, as the metal tube between the reader’s legs, might suggest a sadomasochist side.
