'this is the myth in which we transcribe the most obscure and real powers of language'


Leandro KatzLunar Sentence II, 1980. Created using an 'invented alphabet made with photographs of the faces of the moon.'

It reads:

WHEN WE PULVERIZE WORDS, WHAT IS LEFT IS NEITHER MERE NOISE NOR ARBITRARY, PURE ELEMENTS, BUT STILL OTHER WORDS, REFLECTION OF AN INVISIBLE AND YET INDELIBLE REPRESENTATION: THIS IS THE MYTH IN WHICH WE NOW TRANSCRIBE THE MOST OBSCURE AND REAL POWERS OF LANGUAGE.
