static things

an artist bookwork which combines my design, experimental writing, photography, pen & ink, and calligraphy. words were gathered daily over a period of six months and reworked through various literary structure/chance operations, among them: substitutions, permutations, (re)arrangements. words simultaneously serve as images and( text)ure. the book is designed in such a way that it does not demand the viewer's full attention, nor does it necessitate a linear reading. it's imagined to be a  space to wander
