Via in prestito

The mouth has not opened. The sentence nevertheless begins with I, and there is no reason yet to correct it. Its bearer has given it a place. How far this act commits the bearer has been left undecided.

The movements learned before these words remain possible. One hand presents the declaration while the other continues a practice the declaration has never named. That gesture cannot be treated as an unfinished part of the assertion. It was complete before the words arrived. We would need a further account of how a body admits a sentence, and of what continues to act beyond its reach.

Whoever reads aloud supplies the first person with another body. The former bearer remains present during this exchange. The reader’s posture must also be included, even if it changes halfway through.

This work is born from the fusion of two parents: it inherits their forms, style, colours and ideas in a new visual identity. While living in the pool, it can pass these traits to further children. Instagram likes contribute to its chance of reproducing.

These are the two works from which the child’s visual inheritance comes. Their connections remain visible after the parents leave the pool.
