A sign and a
network. The image as such, as both, and also, as an
object; not intangible but rather bearing its own
materiality, physical attributes, a body.
The image, having signs registered on it, and being
registered with its turn on something greater; an
image that is all and just a part. A shard of a
ceramic vessel that has followed its own path and
trajectory in time. A body that carries its own
history and memory and hovers between being a part and
simultaneously an autonomous entity, thus, having this
duality and bearing both functions. A suspended
fragment that is almost mystic and mythical, becoming
a sign; of itself and of its broader whole.
Thus, the image as a presence and as an archetype that
stands beside, though cannot escape, this general
whole, the net in which it is caught, its context.
