Summary
By way of archiving, digital translation and reproduction, Philip Poppek extracts from Magritte's word paintings twenty-six letters; segmental symbols of a textual system form an alphabet of a, with a familiar apple punctuating a provisional end to the sequence. A poetic correspondence with the letter a speculates on the prehistory of this alphabet, as though searching for some indication as to how we may have come to where we are now, in this ' post-factual moment'.0Maybe at some point we fell into the foxes' den, only to re-surface in a landscape of ruins. This book poses a number of necessary questions, perhaps beginning with: 'Which feminine noun trails after the title script ' est pas une?0Pomme? Pipe? Histoire? Communauté?00Exhibition: Onomatopee, Eindhoven, The Netherlands (18.06-13.09.2020).
