It matters what stories we tell to tell other stories with; it matters what concepts we think to think other concepts with. Donna Haraway 

In this work - TXT - it is not about what "message" is conveyed, but how one conveys a “message," what lies behind language itself as a medium.
I am developing my own language here, creating my own tool for thinking (underlined by the fact that I have made this "alphabet" in ceramics, I leave traces of my own hands, my own body) because the existing language is already occupied.
La langue, cet immense préfabriqué qu’on se passe de génération en génération. Henri Michaux - and facets of experience are restricted.
The construction of freedom arises through alienation - alienation as a strategy to create new worlds.
The point is to think beyond the existing standards of language.
The form of the text is itself a composition of 250 lines of ceramic - sometimes single, sometimes several - that come together or interact with each other.
Like choreographed dancers. The structure of the text itself is transformed through the act of "writing" on the wall and in the end becomes freer, more open.
A language where there is room for interruption or stuttering, where pause, interruption, dizziness, echo or repetition have a place.
