/SHēt/s
/SHēt/s is part of a connected project called in·ar·tic·u·lateˌ(inärˈtikyələt)/ knowl·edge .
In this project I transferred the marginalia from my reading of two chapters on consciousness from Jaegon kim’s “philosophy of mind” into mercurous layers of mirror and glass. As the viewer engages this work traces and fragments of the moments of insight appear suspended in ever changing fragmented reflections. Rhetorical questions, comments, underlines and asterisk are suspended in a reflexive loop of material that annotates both the viewer’s reflection and the environment as a whole. These markings are occurrences of my mind being made visible as it reckons with understanding, rearranges its contents, and questions the state of its own existence.
In this project the evidence of searching for knowledge, meaning, and understanding is suspended on the reflection of the viewer’s face and their surroundings. In effect, all original content has been removed from the final chapters of Kim’s writing on mental content. In turn, marginalia emerges as trace evidence of an investigation which disrupts reflections of the viewer in the act of viewing and the searcher in the act of searching.
