bagong likha, halaw sa Un Coup de Des ni Stéphane Mallarmé
The spatial and visual manipulation of the poetic text desired by Mallarmé in A Throw of the Dice embodies a curious paradox. On the one hand this poem, the most hermetic of Mallarmé’s works, was the expression of his desire to “…break away completely from the phenomenal world and toward a poetry of absolute purity.” But on the other hand, in the process of bringing forth an idea in order to render it perceptible, Mallarmé invested in a highly material practice. He manipulated the typographic form, paying close attention to its visual features, spatial distribution, and capacity to organize the text into a hierarchized figural order. Antimaterial though he may have been in his intentions, his means, in this work, suggest the possibilities for a materially investigative practice.
