Waiting Words, 2009
Stored Sentences, 2009
Secret export of stories. In Cuba specialized readers still read aloud chapters from books and newspaper articles on a daily basis. These words echo through the factories and are subsequently rolled into the cigars with great precision by the torcedors. We are dealing here with an infinite amount of words stacked into the cigars, waiting to come to life again when they are heated. When the cigar is lit, the words are detached from the leaves as they are sucked into the smoker's mouth. In this way, traveling on the smoke, they enter the heads of writers at the other side of the world. Words are blown out and sucked into the nose again, where they directly enter the brain. A fraction of a second later the smoker will think these very words that settle in his mind. |
