"Bodies for the Text" explores the search of a literary text for new corporeality. Fragments of the artist’s novel detach from the printed page and inhabit bodies, surfaces and environments, turning reading into a spatial, physical act. As letters slide across skin, fur, light and shadow, the text becomes a living substance, stretching, resisting, dissolving, seeking a habitat beyond the conventions of language.
The series is built around the idea of a narrow corridor: an interior space where reader and author coexist within a single consciousness. Here the written word abandons the stability of ink, shedding its ascetic geometry to become light, colonizing new surfaces, trembling with movement, and producing meaning through contact rather than interpretation.
Across all stages of the project, "Bodies for the Text" examines literature not as content to be understood, but as a body with its own will to appear, to be seen, and to survive.
Skin & Bones (Study)
In "Skin & Bones," the text encounters human skin, becoming a fragile projection mapped onto breath, muscle and movement. Words crawl along the contours of the body, bending, breaking and reforming as the surface shifts, creating a form of reading that is intimate, unstable and alive. The human figure becomes both page and performer: a site where literature acquires temporary flesh and meaning emerges through tremor, distortion and physical presence.

Furs & Hides (Study)
"Furs & Hides" extends the project into a world where reading is impossible. The text meets animal wool and hides, surfaces without language, forcing the written word into an encounter with beings who cannot perceive it. Projected onto dense textures that scatter and swallow light, the fragments become volatile, clinging briefly before disappearing with the animal’s movement.
This episode stages the author’s deep fear of writing into a void, words cast into a realm where no reader exists and no response is possible. Yet in this act, another meaning arises: the text persists not for comprehension, but for its own will to sound, to attach, to search for flesh. Between light and wool, literature becomes tactile and animal-like, revealing a new mode of existence beyond interpretation.
