In Between the Lines I used two layers of text (the fairy tale Tom-Thump) printed on transparent paper. By blowing-up certain tiny parts between letters I came up with these images, which I then photocopied in large scale, and traced with pencil on transparent paper. I this case I aimed for the work to reflect visually a literal approach to the concept of reading between the lines. It is as if by enlarging the text, one could immerse oneself into the text and discover some hidden meaning that couldn’t see or perceive otherwise.
The hand reproduces the image in a reversed time-consuming procedure, in an attempt to record and understand the image by means of memory and by physical engagement.
