R/R: Ilona Stutz, Oshin Thakkar, and Elza Sile as part of {F_x Office} PDF
Ilona Stutz
R/R is currently split into two parallels, working across media and continents, learning from and experimenting with tools and methods offered by the discipline of rhetorical criticism and practise. Consider this an invitation to a more spatial application thereof.
The following text works as an image and has its physical counterpart in the exhibition cubicles.dump by {F_x Office:} Elza Sile & Ilona Stutz at Kulturfolger Zurich, June 2020.
how about
pre-propositional | political | personal
a layout
to be read
on many levels
and evidence
to be found
in croks and crannies
leading on
like traces in the desert
or the burger frying station of the food-truck.
semi-permeable worlds with tracks of
i. former inhabitants
ii. mere coincidence
iii. your own best guess of what happened
between A and C.

information | utterance | understanding
and experience
a dystopian landscape that is
the scene of crime
the kalahari
you.
the smell of handsome sweaty handyman.
is the landscape telling us anything about the protagonist?
someone opens the window.
sometimes
we reach out
from our
i want
it to be
more

technical
between us
i was
uncomfortable
and hardly slept
aloneness
from someone else
for someone else
who may
or may not exist,
but at least
we reach out.
for the sake of conversation
i will take you at your word
talk talk
who's there
tell me
who’s moving on
who’s kidding whom
and what happened to the heart
mediate and immediate evidence reveal
a fountain pen
hairbrushes big and small
various ramekins
a man that barks
a young girl taking back her quail
graffitis with words from our common use of language in this whorehouse
and why, when i called you fat, i didn’t mean that you’re overweight.
– no, i still need all of that.
