Language, Materiality, Activity, Habits

The making of this book was an artistic research process in itself. Setting out to make this book, Kargl first asked himself how to do it. The more he stuck to that question, the more he realized that there are innumerable factors that influence the processes of collecting material, writing, selecting, editing, etc. That’s where the “artistic” in artistic research starts: it is impossible to list all the influences since you, your body, your mood, etc. are all part of it. There is no possibility to describe these processes from a fictional “outside” point of view. The only possibility is to try to find out how they work — in practice. By making a book about making a book.
