*JARRING III* is a series of three artist’s books and accompanying performances by Mirabelle Jones that seeks to spread awareness by providing a platform for survivors of sexual assault and/or rape. All three books were handmade in an edition of fifty with this print-on-demand book serving as a pre-version for book one and being an expandable and updatable edition of the project. 

The book consists of a series of photographs of a green jar that is continuously filled with paper scraps. Each scrap is first displayed in front of the jar, showing a small text with the description of a case of sexual abuse as reported by one of twenty-four anonymous individuals. The project was intended to be a biennial expanded edition, with contributions made possible via the website for Jones’s project Art Against Assault and all proceeds being donated to a national sexual assault survivor resource.

The first order from Blurb went wrong: a book was delivered that contained the book block of another book. After complaining, Blurb produced and sent a new copy, and also asked for the wrong book to be returned for privacy reasons.

This booklet by Éric Watier contains eleven drawings, scanned and reproduced as black-and-white prints with high contrast so that the paper texture, including creases etc., becomes visible. The drawings are from Watier’s blog “[jim is jim](https://jimisjim.tumblr.com/),” which he started in late 2013 with the announcement, “For now it’s a blog. It’s a bit of a mess. I don’t even know if it’s good or totally naught. Maybe it’ll become a book, unless it just ends up in the dustbin…” (artist website).

On September 18, 2018, the author posted a completely blank, white square image on his Instagram account with the caption “This is me.” He then bought 1,000 random comments, added briefly after the post, from the social media marketing company buysocialmediamarketing.com for $99.99. The book documents these comments, making it a reverse engineering attempt to determine whether the comments were written by actual people or bots, as well as misusing them to produce a work that can be sold again and thereby lessening their costs.

The front cover shows the original Instagram post, the back cover reproduces the invoice.
