F. Dostoyevsky: C. and P., page 67 (Penguin Popular Classics), divided vertically
(2007/2011), is a two-part piece based on the novel of the Russian author,
a meticulous transcription of a particular page, cut vertically in two. Both parts
hang back to back on a single wall close to a divided vintage door, in a mutually
exclusive manner, with one part burnt and the other left untouched. The text
describes the moment before an imminent encounter between two people located
on either side of a door. Framed by the notion of suspension – whether fictional
device or physical action – invisible symmetry and actual visual dissymmetry
enter into a strange and meaningful relationship.
