| It is therefore hardly an academic writing. Its mode of address tends to be that of a diary, a reasoned compilation of notes. I decided to keep the date of the day I wrote each part, as a way to follow the progression of my practice over time. I chose to minimally re-edit older pieces of writing, as I am interested in accounting for the way my work shifts and changes, witnessing its movements and contradictions, rather than retrospectively trying to make it look like a straightforward process.

| A critical engagement with theory and other artists' work is a substantial part of my practice, yet I decided not to directly address those in my writing and leave them in the background, only to compile them as a reference list at the end. I claim an unruly approach to theory, whatever it may be: hand-picking bits and pieces from different sources where I come across resonances with my own intentions and interests, making for a loose constellation of references, without the overwhelming weight of having to fully master and know the whole of it.

An intertwining between writing and making seems to appear also in the use of such formal devices.

It will be a complementary, mirror text to INTRO, an attempt at recapping the work made and reflecting on its achievements and failures, its discoveries and future trajectories.
