ABSENCE
This was the result of our efforts in NY to build the word absence. It reflects the fact that we couldn't find local support to help us out. So the thing turned out to be pretty simple and individualistic.
We've first cut the letters from paper, then spread them in different locations in NY. There's really no logic in the places we've chosen, some are well know landmarks such as Seagram building or the New Museum, some are just anonymous streets or generic places such as the subway.
ABSENCE AS PRESENCE
Each street has it's own fingerprint. This fingerprint seems to defined by the buildings but also by the voids they leave in between. We found that the presence of the sky is as powerful as the presence of the buildings.

DEPARTURE
We are starting our journey. The first goal is to write the word Absence, somewhere and somehow in NY.
It seems appropriate, even thought it was not on purpose, to start the journey with the word Absence: to leave is to become absent. And so, in a way, we are already becoming the journey: singing the world, our daily life, into absence :)
And if nothing else it's a one month vacation to enjoy!
The structure of the blog will start, from now on, to be chronological (the top posts being the most recent). If we get any of the words written they will be posted in their right placement in the mystery sentence in this blog:
