The editor of artists books Christoph Daviet invited me to come up with a proposal for a publication related to my hand-writing in drawings and books.
I decided that only a hand-written text about hand-writing could be conceptually interesting for reproduction and publication.
In the text I give a detailed description of all sort of procedural and visual aspects of hand-writing with a fountain pen on A4 paper.
I sit on a small table and write the memorized text on A4 sheets, while at the same time pronouncing the words in a very slow long drawn way.
For the situation in the gallery I asked a French person to sit opposite me and pronounce the French translation, spoken in a normal way, overlapping with my own voice.
The written sheets will be scanned and reproduced and presented in a folder.
