Touching the Hollow
"...a sort of dehiscence opens my body in two, and because between my body looked at and my body looking, my body touched and my body touching, there is overlapping or encroachment, so that we must say that the things pass into us as well as we into the things."
(Merleau-Ponty, M. 1968, The Visible and the Invisible, Northwestern University Press, Evanston, Illinois, p. 123.)
"Form is emptiness; emptiness is form."

While discussing another project (The This Project), someone suggested that more people might be inclined to respond if the yellow stickies were made more legible.
This led me to reflect on the role of obfuscation in this 'game', and to ponder in general the complexity, challenges and risks inherent in verbal expression, interpretation and the extrapolation of meaning.
After awakening one morning with the phrase "L'incongruité de la langue" in my head (despite only having schoolgirl French) I had to consider, above all, the incongruity of language:
