Description: | The full significance of punctuation marks is almost universally overlooked and under-examined in any discussions of written language, especially within philosophy.“Elements for a philosophy of punctuation are, with the exception of the brief indications in Adorno’s essay, almost entirely lacking” (Agamben, 1999: 222). A ‘Philosophy of Punctuation’ attempts a mini-history of those individual philosophers who have paid attention to punctuation, and who have contemplated its significance for the act of thinking itself. The work consists of a series of experimental letterpress-printed punctuation-based typographic prints, which come together in an artist’s book/folio edition, complementing these philosophical remarks. A series of sound works, interpreted from the prints by Bert Van Beek, accompany the series. |
