In my own words
The travelling show reinvented itself in every town, so a catalogue was never possible. The book is a rule instead: the picture could not illustrate the poem, the poem could not caption the picture. What remains is the tension between them.
Poems you can look at. With Vincent & Vincent, Olga Kovács and Péter Telekes we reinterpreted verse through photography and moving image — a multi-sensory experiment among friends that somehow ended up between two covers.
The rule we set ourselves was simple: the picture must not explain the poem, and the poem must not caption the picture. They had to be equals in the room. Whether we managed it, you can judge for yourself.
