INSIGNIFICANT WRITING, Oct 2023
I wrote these insignificant writings with a pencil on a block of papers, in succession, sitting in the most crowded spots in the city of The Hague, NL at evenings (between 17:00 and 19:00) of the workdays in the early Autumn of 2023. Each number marks a different page and the order of writing, this collection consists of 132 writings in total. It is also important to communicate that the original A4 copy papers where the writings have been executed contain on each of them also an ink drawing of a face (or smiley ) that had been drawn prior to the writing (the insignificant writing has been added on top or on the sides of each smiley)- in the transcription to digital text I reinterpret the position of the words and the spaces and enters with the intention to give an order for the digital space, obtaining a new placement of words in this context.

REFLECTION: I feel both
Excited and worried about this
Unplanned operation I took upon
Myself since a while back.
UNPLANNED OPERATING IN DISRUPTION IS
LIKE SACRIFICE, IN A MODERATE AND
CULTURAL SENSE, NON VIOLENT SACRIFICE,
HUMAN STRIKE,
DISFUNCTION.
Holy ghost. Holy moly!

Karel Appel’s sculpture (1993/2001)
Where I am sitting on is
Freezing my bones and spine.
Why did you not make it
Warm and welcome?
Why? do you realize how
This writing could have been
Improved or
At least been more comfortable?
I hope I will learn from
Your mistakes. WHO ARE YOU?

It is all an attempt to rewrite the “public experience”.

You have a spell,
A secret on the tip

65
REFLECTION: I must find a
Way or operation to discriminate, organize
And crystallize my operation, but
I fear this open alternative is both a
Damnation and prophetic promise, but will
Inevitably imply my struggle to survive
And bring forward foreignity (in and out of
Myself) surrounded by automatic and
Fascist hells, to constantly dissimilate,
Disobey, disintegrate, be a persecuted
Dissident.
To find and cultivate foreignity
Breath by breath.

Your smell of sweat mixed
With some fading parfume is
As strange
As deliciously wonder full.

Game. This is also a
Game. I am writing as if
I was speaking to the crowd,
Anonymous crowd, in my head.
(fruit of my
Imagination,
A lost crowd,
A crowd of
Phantasms.)
And you, you just
See a passing
Face, a drawing you
Instantly find familiar,
And this
Surface streaming hides
From all of us
The bottom line.
But someone may be reading, or is this
All so delusional, is this an echo chamber,
Should I find my audience elsewhere?
78
A big uncomfortable police car
Stations in front of me… this that I am
Doing is an exercise of
DISSIDENCE and
FOCUS. This is
A PROCESS. I believe in
Process, because process is liquid
And can always settle into form. I
Postpone for now this settlement into form,
Like an escatological of revolutionary
False promise,
Simply because I can’t conform and
That’s my form.

Brightful,
Delightful. I just felt like
Scribbling nonsense,
It is still a form of
