Glass and word

Between glass and written language there is an age-old relationship. Indeed, the coming of the despotic omnipotence of the Word, which proscribes the image, coincides with the invention of glass. Strangely compelling, halfway between figure and sign, glass is the neutral element for the image and therefore tolerable. Material of passage, or better, seepage, glass does not represent, it transmits.
(…) Both present and absent, its ambiguity would enchant a walker on the tightrope between conceptual and baroque, who without falling would blow in onto the slender ridge between image and script. But where is the dividing line?
Beyond Art no doubt.
