The alphabet is written in chalk with a sports field line marker on the road in
front of the Design museum Gent––a space between private and public space.


The action is based on road screed marking, a technique used for the freehand
lettering of signs and warnings on roads. As a kind of writing with the body, the
idiosyncrasies of human shaped letters become part of the alphabet as a holder
of language. Misshapen letters remain and are repeated, so that it becomes a test
alphabet, placing the focus on the body within a designed system of language to
which it tries to adapt through movement.
