Notes on.... (Parts I-IIII), 2019.
In ‘Undefining Folium’ from Folium Publishing.Folium - a thin leaflike structure, e.g. in some rocks or in the cerebellum of the brain.
Using an image of a brain from the Salpêtrière Hospital Archive c.1875 as a starting point, the writing intertwines theories of reading, neuroscience and motor cognition to explore the book as a body, ‘reading’ one's body and the body as a book. In its physical form, the essay is contained within four folded sections bringing the reader back to the corporeal references & the physicality of reading.
This essay was produced as part of a one month research and publishing project initiated by Folium Publishing.
