| The
short story Between the Lines or The Three
Rs (Tanya Ury 2001), written for Rolf
Steiner's edition Die weite Welt
shares some common ground with Steiner's Barcelona;
both anecdotes take place in Spain. Where Steiner's German account is
of the author's lonely search for something to write about, Ury's English
text in letterform concerns itself with the animated adventures of the
pseudonymous Hermé. Ury's letter, which addresses R, has been photocopied
onto four transparent plastic sheets; these have been stapled together
and placed over Steiner's text, to create an illegible amalgam. Only when
the texts are taken in the hand and the pages separated, can one read
all of both stories.
Tanya Ury Die weite Welt SEGUR DE CALAFELL
Norbert Prangenberg Nine places, nine texts, each in A3 format. The texts were printed with water-soluble ink. Each of the nine text sheets were then worked on by the above named artists in an edition of thirty, so that each sheet is an original. The texts that have sometimes become illegible by the artistic work over are again presented as a book, the essays being about the exciting relationship between foreign lands and home. Both the nine signed sheets and the book are housed in a numbered box carton (44x31x3cm) with a light blue cover and a photo on the lid. The entire edition (820 Euros) consists of 20 box cartons and 10 artists' works. Rolf Steiner Lindenstr.67 50674 Köln,
Tel.: 0221 243918 "To take his mind off the perils of walking in the dark, Hermé told him about the pleasures of midnight bathing and that Anise Nina had written a story about a couple who did it in the bay in the 30's; Hermé had been with her cousin and friends, only a week earlier. It had been so warm and there had been such a sense of apprehension that no one had hesitated to strip off naked, before lunging into the black Mediterranean Sea. The vision of a cosmos of stars in the clear sky above competed for attention with the delicious sensation of limpid salt water below, against expectant nerve-ends. The bathers silently waded or swam off in separate directions - this was something that could only be fully appreciated, on your own. Hermé slowly spread her arms in a languid breaststroke. As her fingers moved through the water she was taken aback; it was as if electric sparks were coming off the ends of her fingers." Extract from Between the Lines or The Three Rs (Tanya Ury 2001) |
