trace / écart

By having a tracing of a pattern onto the naked skin of my back I try to sense what the transcription looks like via my skin sensitivity and copy what I feel/read. It acts as a physical form of the game “Chinese Whisper’s”. It also works on the notion of the white spaces on paper, the bare space necessary to contrast the eye to see and read.
