Whilst in London I researched a few galleries that i could look round whilst i was there for the day. Heather Phillipson is currently Whitechapel Gallery's Writer in Residence. I decided to have a look at her work as i was interested in her poetry/ writings. Here current work here was about how both our physical and affective selves are constructed and how they might escape. This interested me the most as i am looking into this thought where the inner child in people is still there and how it can escape/ rise up. I want my 'her' to rise up, escape the boundaries that are placed on her by time. That she is able to live like a child that she still wants to be.
Phillipson's writings were casual. She tells you to listen to her in the booklet and places things in capitals. Sections of the book are numbered off and almost categorised. In the zine she also write about this certain type of music, and this mentioned music is then being played around you as you walk through the space. It is sensory full and captivating. I loved how the books were all piled up, there were masses and you could take one away. I really enjoyed this aspect. And even though there were so many aspects, they all bled into each other and sat perfectly in place.
