LEAVING TRACES

DURING THE TRAJECTORY, IMPRINTS FORM AND SUBSTANCE ACCUMULATES

“I came upon a trail of water in the dust that looked as though it had been sprinkled from the spout of a funnel, which reminded me of my previous observations…”

(From Eugène Delacroix’s journal, 6 May 1852)

Moving, acting, crossing through the space, leaving colour, tracing signs: all of this activity leaves parts of itself behind.

What remains along the way constitutes something parallel and marks the passage of the experience.

I turn back, I see the wake that I have left and I recognise something.
