interstice;
the empty/full dichotomy takes part in all visual art. emptiness introduces an active discontinuity which allows for a complex organisation of visual elements, thereby facilitating interpenetration and internalization. the outgrowth of a piece into space, either through diptychs or panoramas, amplifies the structure of emptiness. classical composition rules no longer apply; the parts engage in a new dialogue that is revealed by a void where, seemingly, nothing happens. symbolically, emptiness becomes a code with underlying meaning, an ambiguous code leading to multiple interpretations.

la dichotomie vide/plein participe à toute forme d’art visuel. le vide introduit une discontinuité active qui permet aux éléments de s’organiser de façon complexe. il en facilite l’interpénétration et l’intériorisation. l’éclatement de l’œuvre dans l’espace, sous forme de diptyque ou de panorama, exacerbe la place du vide. les règles classiques de la composition cessent de s’appliquer; un autre dialogue s’engage entre les parties de l’œuvre, médiatisé par des zones où, en apparence, rien ne se passe. au plan symbolique, le vide devient un code qui sous-tend le sens de l’œuvre, un code ambigu menant à des interprétations multiples.

anterograde amnesia;
.
(& sadly go round,
& sadly go round.)
counting the years, we recount them. we put a youth to our mouth, we mend the hearts, we warm up to dots, we craddle waves, vaguely. with every year, new youth, old hearts, periods aligned wistfully and strung along the same skies. we all know about the januaries, the junes. i cut in half all my beginnings, all my beginnings begging to end.
(from the blood spilt on my chest,
to your fingertipped nose:
this goodbye was without a word.)
