Speak in potential, Itziar Okariz

Speak in potential is an action involving writing on skin. The text that is reproduced is part of a conversation about the conditional as a verbal form of suggestion, hypothesis or probability. During the action, the body is used as a support on which the words are drawn, and the adaptation to the surface of the body results in a reorganisation of the phrases. The fold/body forces the ink to negotiate a surface very unlike the organisation of a page and its stipulated lines. The skin available for writing on is a living topography and one that conditions its visibility.
