Writing exercises, various writings, various locations 2013-2014.

Writing is the most practical form of archiving and preserving in time certain ideas and thoughts. Beside purely practical purposes, writing is an attempt to leave a trace by an individual for the times to come. In this series of works I try to leave traces (they are mostly traces with expiration date), in places which I visit and their surrounding architecture. All my writings are in the form of Haiku poetry. Those writings could not ever exist on their own. They only gain their meaning in certain space, which completes their idea. Those writings are sometimes social or political, or both, and yet sometimes they are mere inntimate thoughts on symbolics of certain location or an object. Bearing that in mind, one could say that this work is a kind of a diary in the public space.
