This is from my Notes on Painting:
Traces from the interior and traces from sight change places and are
changed. Even if nothing were connected, there would be at least these
remains: visual traces over the traces of an anterior visuality; the
influence of anterior traces on the seeing to come; an aftersight different
from the first.
- Discover, create ties, strings, tunnels.
My nonI has gone to visit the past. I don't know where it is. It should not
have left me in these difficult times. My brother Motti has always had a
hard time with my nonI. He recognized it from the movement of my eyes when
they were staring out into nowhere. Non-I comes and goes as it pleases.
That's not fair, especially when you're little. Later, we're ashamed of the
non-I; we try to take its place by concentrating. But my nonI can always
move about - it can always find another elsewhere.(1985)
Conceive of the eclipse, that instant when the instant turns its back.(1989)
- Erasing-tracing - isolating-drowning - housing and destroying; and we
live the erasure trace.
And a limit case of this paradox: resistance which is also opening; closure
which is also gift; failure which is measure of beauty; insurmountable
distance which is encounter.(1990)
The gaze, saturated from too much seeing, suddenly sees no more and
touches. It joins with the grain of the skin; it falls in love. - Give it
sensitized form. (1991)
The named words, the nomad-words; those that travel well and those that
travel poorly between two tongues. Lapsus (slip of tongue), for example (in
Hebrew: 'pelitat peh'). There are others that suffer during the journey and
hide out.
Named words, nomad-words hide out and protest. They have the force of
motion, of alternance; they dance. In Hebrw, 'leholel': to move, dance,
crate. 'Hiloul'-gap or 'hiloul'-descration of the Name.
- To create with space spread apart, halal(a). (1992)
