Thoughts from our last workshop with Jan. Not trying to rationalise my obsessions and thoughts, but I enjoy the ideas of normality, replicability and rearrangement.
The flattening of inherent identity and differences by focusing on a singular idea (Eg. Time of arrival at each station)
The differentiation of tombstones by addition of a yellow cloth denoting royalty.

The Mono-ha art movement’s focus on rearrangement as opposed to creation.

“reproduces buildings deprived of any visual characteristics, vacant solids “left blank for work expressing modern feeling””
