"The pure work implies the disappearance of the poet as speaker, who hands over to the words."
-- Stéphane Mallarmé
The Image/Text critiques various commonly accepted notions of subjectivity and communication through simultaneous manipulations of the visual, syntactical and so-called semantic aspects of texts.
They are designed to divert the reader from whatever subjective content or objective directives which might be deduced from or attributed to them.
Above all, they occupy themselves with the joyous and playful processes immanent to composition in general; cosmic, terrestrial, personal or otherwise.
