If it cannot speak of the desert as a landscape, because although its variety, it is landscape absence. This absence attributes its reality to it. it cannot speak of the desert as a place; because it is, also, not a place; not the place of a place or the place of a not-place. If it cannot intend that the desert is a distance, because it is, at the same time, Real distance and not absolute distance because of its absence of references. It has for limits four horizons e is what the league and separates them. It is its proper separation where this if becomes opened place, opening of the place. If he cannot intend that the desert is the emptiness, the nothing. Nor if he can intend that it is the term, because it is equally the start.) Edmond Jabés. This project is part of the series of the deserts. It’s about the desert as a space of the waiting, just sand desert and wind. A desert landscape, but not only: this is about the sand taken every day, as a plate of soup or a piece of bread. The sand drops out of the landscape for the plate. This project deals with the flow in between saturations and emptiness. It’s about alienations and absences, overflows and exhaustions.
