Micro-events
This project is inspired by the reading of a text by Richard Brautigan, "The smaller snow storm ever recorded," where the sublimation of almost nothing seen as an extraordinary experience creates the poetic event. What is there before our eyes but insignificant, imperceptible or fugitive, the infra-ordinary is here taken to be an object. The act of designate then lies in the gap between a few grams of matter and the title as assumption of a possible look. This difference is also the necessary vacuum to the imagination ; the inducement to creation of an event such as a Micro Snow Storm: a poem as object.
