synopsis
This text composition is the result of overlapping interpretations: first, the artist created an animation based on Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. Three viewers formulated their own descriptions of what they saw while viewing the film, from which entire sentences, fragmentary phrases, and thoughts have been taken and associatively connected, overlaid or disintegrated into individual letters, where language and letters are the primary movers.
DETAIL:76. HARDER TO DESCRIBE, IT’S THREE COLORED SHAPES AND THEN THEY SMEAR. (2:56)
