Type Case - Caja Tipográfica (instalación)

Type Case from Martin Bircher on Vimeo.
The installation Type Case is a low-resolution display with 125 rectangular pixels of different sizes. These are formed from the reflecting light of digitally controlled LEDs, embedded in each section of a European printers’ type case. Due to the standardized fragmentation of its compartments, the density of visual information is decreased towards the objects’ centre. Viewed close by, it is nearly impossible to recognize more than a flicker – however after moving some distance away, it becomes distinguishable, that the lights and shadows give a representation of the latest headlines.

Dos Desiertos

Y a medianoche cuando la luna
ya no se inclina sobre el borde
espejo-abertura de un pozo seco,
con nuestros muñones de lenguas
ladramos
estruendos de poesía afilada
como la cresta del sílex.

Hawad

Del silencio

Mientras el cuerpo nos protege
del desastre

y un turbión hace cauce en nuestras venas
y se nos cubren los ojos de raíces agrias

mi alma sabe que allá del otro lado
en la esquina o tienda o consultorio
también tú te sufres en la oscuridad
con los brazos abiertos
para recibirme.

Fragmentos de "El Libro de los Márgenes II"

"El libro --había anotado-- no se abre de izquierda a derecha, ni de derecha a izquierda, sino de arriba abajo: una página en el cielo, una página en el polvo."

"No hay palabra que no surja del silencio. Y cuanto más pesado sea ese silencio, más grave será esa palabra."

Edmond Jabés
