Vivisection

I've been toying with a new project that considers the relationship between vivisection and bodies of text, and am full of exclamation marks for the work of two people whose creations intersect with this topic.

A version of Monica Aasprong's Soldatmarkedet can be flipped through here. So much possible extrapolation, room for theory, from a text that focuses on erasure, homogeny, white-out, and the rapid-fire clock-tick/footstep/hammering insistence of the 't.'

Brian Dettmer's breathtaking book autopsies offer some of the more inspired vispo I've encountered recently. If you scroll mid-way down this page, click on his maps of the Middle East with the excised text.
