Yesterday I shot head over heels into the water.

My body plowed a blunt furrow and my thoughts
plodded along until they were stopped by the
tips of my toes. They bounced back, gently, and
limped a little behind the events until everything
was finally in place again: thoughts on top,
feet on the bottom, head above water.

The text tells us of a playful, relishing way of dealing with the element of water. In its visual realisation, the text picks out aspects of shifting, layering and a state of disorientation as its central themes. In a permanently moving, flowing “text wall”, the text is assembled line after line. Each line is legible only for a certain moment before it disappears again into the mass of undecipherable hieroglyphs that are slowly moving from right to left.
