Like Water - Palestinian Artist TAYSIR BATNIJI
109 words meaning water in arabic language. This inventory was established by Mahmoud Darwish in his collection ‘Memory for forgetfulness’ - transcription with water on floor. - Taysir Batniji
“This work follows several performative projects, undertaken in the last few years that evoke notions of memory, erasure, non-being, and destruction/construction or (deconstruction /restitution). Each of these “acted shapes” is the result of obsessional, repetitive, and often useless or absurd gestures. In the Impossible Journey I used a shovel to move a pile of sand, from one side of an imaginary line to the other, to the point of sheer exhaustion. Another work Hannoun is based on cutting and scattering the shavings of about 400 red pencils on the ground, to suggest the appearance of a field of poppies… In Like Water, I write with water, using a brush, for over two hours and within a marked perimeter the 109 Arabic words that signify water and which were cited, according to Ibn Sida, by Mahmoud Darwish in his book “Memory for Forgetfulness.” The result is an unproductive production: when I start writing the second or the third line, the first words are absorbed in the floor’s covering or evaporated until they completely disappear.” (x)
the words from Darwish below, for anyone curious:

Public speaking is actually really easy if you don't respect a single soul in that room. I've had an incredibly easy time delivering speeches when I hated everybody I saw and they all thought I did amazing because my disdain was read as confidence. I don't have any tips for you I'm just telling you a fact
We live in an age of regrettably half-assed insults. I would have done great at like 1654 where you could walk up to someone you don't like and just say shit like "how cruel can nature be, that now age denies you wisdom, as youth once forbade you beauty" and get stabbed.
i see all of you sexy ladies (gender neutral) rbing that sebastian post and saying black butler. i see you and i love you and i acknowledge your probably barely-pubescent and vaguely alarming crushes on both him n the undertaker.

my prized possession is this loveseat I bought from a divorced dad who couldn’t tell me anything about it and in the years i’ve owned it i’ve never been able to find out who made it or where it came from. it’s got nails and finger creases and palm lines but they’re all kinda hard to see in this pic.
