  • Reflection Notes

“The setting, how many cookies did we need? We had talked often throughout 2020, but the presence of a recorder made this a different kind of talk. I believe that the presence of a camera is for many people more ‘intruding’, and an audio recorder you forget after a while because it is less visible. But from the way Sands was speaking-precise, and making sure what to explain and what to reveal and what not-I knew the recording stayed on his mind.” – RR.

  • Reflection Notes

“Zoom in on the window, author unknown. To reach the studio at the manage without a key, I walk through the building in a certain way. Memories of walks of years before, hearing my own footsteps, memories of having the key, memories of other artists that occupied this building and the aura and traces that they left behind.” – RR.

  • Reflection Notes

“Roger and Sands talked about the auction of Paul Thek drawings, and then Sands gifted Roger a drawing of himself (Tyranny of time) that reminded him of Paul Thek somehow. And then? Then we just started to install a big cloud of horse drawings, which was a lot of fun. Just see the pictures.” From the meta-archive process diary. – RR.

  • Reflection Notes

“The impulse to make a self-portrait right after the recording. The image as a record. Thinking of Sands his performalist self-portraits (see one of his Identity Shots on the wall). Thinking of Adrian Piper’s ‘Food for the Spirit’ mirror self-portraits. Since I am often in the role of the observer and recorder (the interviewer, but not the interviewee), I’m usually not present in the process images. The self-portrait as a way to share the person on ‘the other side’ of the microphone.” – RR.
