Launch of the book "She Didn’t Say It Was Her Phone, She Said Her Girlfriend Heard a Phone Ringing" by Simon Asencio
Rendezvous on Wednesday, September 14th for the book launch of "She Didn't Say It Was Her Phone, She Said Her Girlfriend Heard a Phone Ringing" by Simon Asencio, published by AXIS.AXIS, accompanied by a dialogue with curator and co-editor Lilou Vidal.
For the launch of the book "She Didn't Say It Was Her Phone, She Said Her Girlfriend Heard A Phone Ringing", Simon Asencio will present a short performance revealing, through reading and choreography, what might constitute the invisible parameters at the margins of a writing process: the preparatory notes, the omissions or withdrawals, the new reflections that emerge at the moment of reading and are often hastily scribbled down on a corner of the paper, or even those narrative details that escape from fiction to populate the real. ..
Situated at the crossroads of the artist's book and the literary essay, this book is the result of a correspondence by SMS between the artist and a multitude of anonymous people. It proposes a narrative of oneself to the meeting of the other through a daily epistolary writing by interposed telephone messages.
This publication follows the work that Simon Asencio made for the exhibition "This Is My Body, My Body Is Your Body, My Body Is The Body of The Word", at the Delta, Namur, from November 23, 2019 to April 19, 2020 (curator: Lilou Vidal).
