The poem entitled Disappear Disappear Again bring together 22 disparate sentences found in the artist's notebooks. The number of the sentences corresponds to the 22 opening days of the group exhibition INTÉRIEURS SUR MESURE at Galleria Alberta Pane. On Sundays and Mondays the gallery is closed, which offers 8 days of rest for the gallery and the work. The disposition of Disappear Disappear Again consists - when the gallery is open to the public - to handwrite each morning a different line in pencil per day on the wall of the exhibition space. The sentence is then erased at the closing time of the Gallery. Every day the same ritual gesture is repeated, the rubber residue remains visible.
The book L’élargissement du poème by Jean-Christophe Bailly also aims at a poetic escape which integrates the instability and the threshold of the world in its language and it is for this reason mainly, that the artist chose it to interact with his work. In exploring poetry writing in fleeting, temporal form, the artist has developed a series of actions that use written material as a daily link to the exhibition space. The length of each poem is determined by the length of the exhibition: equal in lines to the number of days, the text is disclosed in fragments. The action is repeated each day but is never the same; it becomes a ritual and invites new ways of celebrating the quotidian. This simple gesture, which materializes differently in each setting, is a measure of the passing of time that reveals, through the appearance and disappearance of words, a sense of poetic rebellion against the instability of the present.
