THE ARTWORK
In Joseph Beuys’s In head and in pot, a black-and-white image hosts traces, writing and irregularly textured surfaces. Darker areas and light passages overlap, making the reading resemble a journey among fragments and marks left in space.
The 1978 screenprint on card maintains an open relationship between image and language. The title offers two presences to relate without resolving the whole into one interpretation. The eye can dwell on writing or follow surface differences, encountering a composition dense with traces and associative possibilities.
