C'est comme si l'on entrait dans un village privé qui ressemble presque à une maison en plein air

ainsi que le long métrage Mississipi One

auxquels se superposent les arabesques décoratives de tiges découpées avec netteté

Atlas of Textscapes Nina Leger surveillance society'The Atlas of Textscapes' presents a forty year overview of Tanja Smits text drawings, created directly on magazine articles and newspaper pages. The result is a striking collection of visual patterns and a wide ranging exploration of layout, language, and meaning. At once critical and poetic, the work is both an investigation into the structure of text and an ode to language, slowness, and the fading presence of print in contemporary life. Tanja Smit
