In February 2013, I spent two weeks in ZSenne Art/Lab, at the window, writing. Dealing with the presences on both sides of the glass – those of past residents inside and my own, and those of passers-by on the outside. I was there, trying to figure out what I was doing there. In the time running up to those two weeks, I concocted big plans for my interactions with the neighborhood, but during walks in the neighborhood in preparation for those interactions - just before the two week residency - I had come to feel those plans were to much running ahead of myself. I had projected myself getting in touch with the many schools around ZSenne, to share my imagination about the practice of writing as a sense-motor experience. But what real reasons did I have to meet residents and students or employees from the schools around the art laboratory? My plans were based on previous experiences which happened in the sole company of other artists. So I decided to take a step back and simply let myself be affected by everyday interactions with the direct surroundings of ZSenne, and meanwhile develop a style or define the genre that would shape my written documentary of that everyday behavior. The open vitrine architecture of ZSenne allowed me to work in my notebooks and at the same time stay in touch with the outside.
