Predictive Text

2018
Four receipt rolls, handwritten text. Approx 1000 x 80 cm.

Predictive Text collects every text message exchanged with a deceased friend, rearranged and rewritten in an attempt to uncover a reason behind his death. The work comprises a forensics of loss, an obsession over an archive to find meaning.

It approaches death through a process of dismantling – through the datification of life, the restructuring of the archive, and the reordering of information through repetition and handwritten labour.
