The first topic addressed: Seeking and finding answers through repetition, and the attraction of the familiarity found in repetition.
I gather pictures from my almost daily walk. Same place, completely different result. Thoughts on the subject resulted in the text:
Repetition
Locked in a series of movements
in a frame made of gestures
circling words
and behavioral loops
that I had to repeat
(until I broke through)
I learned that progress is a spiral
and that there is no such thing
As repetition.
Although I memorize the steps
I follow the sequence
I copy and paste
the half-empty days
and their dummies for reference:
A sunset, a beach, a building.
The pattern is similar but
there is no identical point in time
and each repetition brings me closer
to a still escaping answer.
But
even after I quench my question
I keep going back
to the comfort of the familiar
because after all
I am just a creature of habit.
The book was made using FLOSS tools. The images were edited with GIMP and the typesetting with Scribus.
The first edition of this book is printed in limited numbered and signed copies. Each copy is unique and fully handmade.
The pictures below show a few pages the first one of these copies: 48 pages, grayscale, 11x12 (cm), archival paper 100gr (Conqueror, oyster) on archival paper 240gr, (Dali, chamois), chain stitch.
