The Blindings

Tiré du site Internet de Book Works: ""These texts are lunges to capture handfuls of another time and place while passing through it in the curious guise of a witness to my own crimes.""Looking and writing on the slippery stage of memory is as uncomfortable as it is mysterious, especially when chronicling one's own works." - Brian Catling. The Blindings is a description of a group of works and performances made between spring 1993 and winter 1994, revisiting them after the event in order to reconfigure them for the printed page as a modulated sequence of handwriting, description and print. The texts for The Blindings are handwritten : each of which contains a pronouncement that a fluid, gas, suspension or extract has been injected into the eye; manipulated photographs are used to corroborate the truth of this fiction. A solid sans-serif type is used for the sections of the books that were actually spoken whilst a lighter serif is used to describe the performances and the intentions behind them."
