In Her Hour I-VII, 2022
A series of seven works
Absent writing and markings on semi-transparent paper
101x70cm
Idea:
An index pointing to the inner punctuation or negation of thought, as a break, opening or rhythm.
Process:
I start with filling out a sheet of paper with my continuous automatic writing. Every sheet takes approx. 3 hours to fill. Then, I cover the writing with another sheet of semi-transparent paper and mark out the places in the text underneath where the line of thought involuntarily exhausts and breaks. The black markings thus indicate the gaps or punctuations between the thoughts. The sheet with the handwriting is later removed and not shown.
