this is that and that is this
DESCRIPTION
this is that and that is this, consists of conversations transcribed into drawings. In each case the length of the drawing is an indication of my presence and not necessarily a depiction of an entire interaction between speakers. Individuals are represented by differently colored lines made up of dots, the duration of their utterance determining the length of that line. A single drawing is distributed between four pages. On page one the viewer is presented with lines indicating the author/observer as present, but outside the conversation. Containing cuts the central pages produce variations in signification as they are turned from right to left, or left to right. On page four words spoken in English appear as such, in sequence, floating without context.TRANSCRIPT
