When I read the pages and lines of a written text, of a book, physical things are present to me in my “reading action.” A book is a body, the pages are made of sheets of paper, the lines are black marks and physical-organic or mediately physical-mechanical impressions on certain points of the paper.
I see the “thingly” elements to the extent that they appear to me, but “I live by understanding the meaning.”
Now, let us stop at the first experiencing s/objectivity: physicality as concluded meaning. Action for the sake of action on one or more pages of a possible “book-thing.”
The intention to mark or un-mark the page of a book, seeking the non-metaphorical but reflecting on the means and the action.
It is always different to see the thing as a thing and the thing as an object of use. One relates from what is Other than the “thing itself.”
Graphic signs “appear,” but we live aiming at their meaning. In the same way, the object-body or book-body appears, and we intend toward understanding.
The idea is to grasp the intentionality of the appearance as such, in total independence from signification.
What you will choose to send me is organically independent from my knowing. One or more pages acted upon in a printing perspective, more or less certain.
A thank you for your participation in an unstable project, and for the inevitable contribution to my multiple and unique product, and to your unique and multiple performative residue.
To accept or not to accept amounts to an inevitable participation within a book of “crossed legacies.”

Giovanni Ferrario
