One Thousand and One Steps
No. 1 of an
edition of intended 5 (only 3 materialized) digitally printed books. Text from One Thousand and One Nights;
“Thou thoughtest
well of the days when they went well with thee
and fearedst not
the evil that destiny was bringing.
Thy nights were
peaceful
and thou wast
deceived by them
in the midst of
their brightness cometh gloom.
Who is there to
aid me in mine affliction
For my pain hath
become intense
and my remedy is
scarce procurable…
Let fortune do
whatever it willeth
a decreed term
is my invisible lot
to bear with
cheerful mind
and as soon as
its days have expired I die.
As the text
wanders out the page, so she wandered through the pages.
