Letters To Him Who Hides Wastelands Within I-III, 2018
Automatic writing and markings on semi-transparent paper
163x95cm
Idea:
An index revealing the inner punctuation or negation of tought, as a break, opening or rhythm.
Process:
I start with filling out a sheet of paper with my own continuous writing, registering every thought that comes through my mind. Every sheet takes approx. 8 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 shown underneath.
