space. between

a view into an inner cosmos made up of particles and thoughts an internally disintegrated and yet at the same time unified world. a wide field opens up which is best described by the attempt to fix its coordinates and connect these into a net.each medium possesses a clear,definite force. sign possesses the ability to freeze a moment, to be immediate, original, the fixed points form nuclei the basic coordinates of the construction which gain more space through reflection, duplication and polarization.similar to the cell division process: the original cell splits and begins to duplicate, a simple nucleus giving rise to a complex organism. growth. duplication and splitting mean, on the one hand, polarisation on the other, repetition , a loop, thoughts begin to rotate, points are released from rigid structures. signs split into poles, transform into rotating couples, loop ,the sound loop introduces a notion of time, spin. sounds are amorphous structures moving within an imaginary field which remains invisible to the beholder, a sound is an oscillation, a wave, resembling a temporally stretched loop. the descriptive field surrounding the elements movement and time expands. space becomes more tangible but the "real" always remains in-between.
