Diaspern I + 0
"One sheet (I) is laid atop an empty sheet (O) of the same size. The strokes are cut out as precisely as possible along their edges with a scalpel, through both sheets at once. The dividing cut between the line and the surroundings traces the contours of the strokes onto sheet I, while circumscribing them and transfering them at the same time on to shet 0. The same cutout silhouettes - circumscriptiones - come about congruently on both sheets when the cou-out paper is removed. When I eradicate the lines on sheet I in this way, I simultaneously transfer their outlines onto the empty sheet; voids, negatives are produced on both sheets. The qunatity of lines is subtraced - eliminated - and doubled, as compliment of the drawing, on both sheets." Katharina Hinsberg
