per un caso imprevedibile, la stampa di una serie di langrid da differx.tumblr.com si è rivelata caotica, con casuali sovrapposizioni di immagini. che tuttavia assai mi garbano. e le ripropongo qui. in foto minuscole e a bassa risoluzione, e nel pdf da cui sono tratte, anch’esso estremamente sgranato. ma: bene così.

I often drawrite “langrids”. A langrid is a grid of language.
I always had in mind Robert Smithson’s A heap of language (1966), or Paul Celan’s Sprachgitter (1959).
In my work, grids and squares and weird geometric shapes collide with pieces of superimposed sentences, asemic bits, other shapes, syllables.
