Emmanuelle Rapin
The Folds of the Soul I & II
2022

Folded carbon paper, embroidered with red, cotton thread, mirror, aluminum, nails, 50.5 x 45.5 (each)

The text was written upside down on the verso of the pleated paper in order to be readable on the front of the work. The word fragments were then embroidered on the back of the unfolded paper. Thus the right side of the embroidery (the beautiful side) is located on the back of the paper. The visible side of the embroidery is in fact its reverse side revealing more of the fragile knots of the elaboration. If you want to read the text in its entirety you have to fold the paper and look at it in the mirror. The poet Ghérasim Luca read his poems in a fragmented way, he brought together and separated the meanings and sounds of the words in a jerky diction. The folds are the possibility of the gap between two edges of the same paper. They form the continuity of the in-between.
