chromatoGRAPHYchoreoGRAPHY // Asher O´Gorman (IRL/AT)

chromatoGRAPHYchoreoGRAPHY is rooted in topics of expansion both physical and theoretical. It playfully challenges the norms and constraints of three forms of writing: choreography, cartography and chromatography, broadening the definition and use of the combining form ‘graphy’= ‘writing’.

‘The ink departs the foam and meets the paper. The paper instantly grabs the liquids as if it has been waiting all its life for this meeting and offers a body which the ink can occupy. The ink steadily transcends and takes the shape of the paper. The paper is now sketching, directing and choreographing the ink.’
