Research | Book | Against Expression | Conceptual Writing | Monica Aasprong

This set of research is aimed at looking at various ways Artists and Writers experiment and use existing texts, by doing so i'm looking at ways I might explore, experiment and present my already existing transcript for the end of year exhibition.

Here Poet Monica Aasprong deals with radically reduced writing, this piece Soldatmarkedet is a direct response to novels written by the poet where she began by removing letters from these ending up with a book only consisting of the letter t.

Through my own understanding I see this work to encompass all elements of Aasprong's past work, by reducing the text down to a single letter she has created a new piece of work out of the old. The book shows the use of a single letter throughout her work and the importance of not only the letter t, but also the importance of the others not present in this piece. By only showing one letter to produce a series of t's the work points out what isn't there as much as what is. It removes a sense of language, communication and structure that would have been present in the collection of work.
