Commissioned to design a collection of theoretical essays on performance and
installation art by Marga van Mechelen (focussed on de Appel in Amsterdam in
the early seventies), I hand wrote the 70,000 word text as a durational action.

The project intervenes in the standard process of mechanical reproduction of
language by bringing my body and context into the content of the publication.
At the same time the reader is implicated as an active participant––presented
with the idiosyncrasies of text formed by hand rather than uniform machine
reproduction.
