writing —
thinking, teaching, love, ink, writhing …

In this performance-talk, Jeremy Fernando attempted to read the relationship between movement and thought, through the scenario of a caesura in the flow of ink: writer’s block. All whilst recalling the fact that writing is an act of memory — haunted by forgetting. And, where a painting — ‘Squid Ink’ by Yanyun Chen — is quite possibly the scene through which this piece is inked.
