…What should we know about knowing? How to anticipate the anticipatable? By constantly keeping work diaries and notes it was only a matter of time before they took the form of cards. Collected in a box, laid out on a table in random order, shown one by one… Each of the word combinations involves a chain of thought, disrupts the logic of everyday life, and acts as a mental lift. — An ever-expanding and of various cards: sidenotes, footnotes, event titles, project ideas, methods, and so on. Printed on offset paper, 8.5×5.5cm. 2018—Ongoing
