A.NORMO.GRAFO

When we start learning to write, we draw letters. What we do is, apparently, just an attempt at writing, because we don’t know their meaning and can’t access their translation—we don’t know how to read.
With time and practice, we no longer need to think in order to write: the letter has been transformed into a line, taking its place in the infinite universe of ligatures, modes, and calligraphic abbreviations.

Tal vez, entremedio, existe otro momento: aquel en el que conocer o aprender cierto idioma es prescindible e innecesario, y el poder de la lectura reside en la lectura misma; en la percepción, experiencia y comprensión sensible de lo que vemos, en nuestra sola subjetividad y su inagotable capacidad para encontrar significado.

Between the real and the possible, and between image and writing, after all, writing is just another form of drawing.
