Fffhhh, Ssszzhh –or– Fffhhh, Cchhzzz
2 - 26 December, 2010
An exhibition as a project by Maartje Fliervoet, developed during the 8 months of her residency at Wiels.
(Attempts at translating to language sounds produced by the touching of paper under different circumstances.)
If you turn a page, it's as if you leave the space toward a new coherence of words, and possibly images. You move pages from right to left (or left to right) and while doing so you move a volume until you have closed the book's cover. What is not visible is present as a mass. An open book repeatedly presents one moment in a succession of moments: in the same volume there can be a few seconds between browsing-time, months reading-time or thousands of years story-time.
If through repetition and the stacking of information you add something to an image, you also remove something: noise enters the initial picture. The print becomes blurred, but you can also see something new. The picture seems to exist merely as surface(s) but at the same time a new spatiality comes up.
