Paraplan predstavlja apsurdnu kartografsku generalizaciju ničega (aproprijacija ilustracije iz knjige The hunting of the snark, Lewis Carroll), ali i namjeru, tj. „ono što se planira“, pa je kao takav ilustracija vlastite proizvodnje koja formom aludira kako se u biti planiralo nije ništa. Funkcija autorstva svedena je dakle na odluku o pukom uokviravanju i imenovanju rada. Literarno ishodište karte, fantazmogorični je narativ, poznat i kao agonija u osam činova. Neobična družina, s neobičnim zadatkom, putuje brodom, u potrazi za Snarkom. Plove neistraženim vodama, reklo bi se, plan je da plana nema, osim upozorenja. – Boojum.
(iz umjetnikove izjave)

Paraplan represents an absurd cartographic generalization of nothing (appropriation of the illustration from the book The hunting of the snark, Lewis Carroll), but also intention, i.e. "that what is being planned", so as such it is an illustration of one's own production, which in its forms alludes to how actually nothing was planned. The function of autorship is thus reduced to the decision to simply frame and name the work. The literary origin of the map is a phantasmogoric narrative, also known as the agony in eight acts. An unusual group, with an unusual task, travels by boat, in search of Snark. The sail unexplored waters, one might say, the plan is that there is no plan, except for the warning. – Boojum. –
