Post-It / texte en ligne

The project 'post-it' was an exposition exercise where something printed (image, text etc.) shall be realized in a repositional exposition.

I started with Banksy and his work London 2005 similar to Francis Alÿs Green Line or The Leak. Both use the city as canvas and make the spectator follow his trace. But Banksy pushes the project further since he installed a sudden end; the white paint line is absorbed by a british officier. I liked this idea of drawing the attention of the spectator and the surprising end of the performance/installation.

I installed a textline to bait the spectator. The line is a quote of Lineland, the 13th chapter of Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions written by Edwin A. Abbott, 1884. Due to technical circumstances, I printed the textline mirror inverted so you have to use a mirror to read the line and also concern yourself deeper with this to follow the story.

At the end of the line, people would imagine the continuation of the story the read before, but instead, the story is devoured by a projected character. 

In the background, you can hear Lineland read the other way around as if it were eaten.
