Numbered and signed copy
I MET belongs to On Kawara’s trilogy. During twelve years, from May 10, 1968 to September 17, 1979, the artist noted every day chronologically the names of the people with whom he conversed. This work was published as a twelve-volume edition. On each page, the list of names appears together with the day’s stamp in the footnote. Geographical location changes are signaled by grey page dividers with the city’s name. Raising fundamental questions regarding name, encounter, time or space, I MET creates a poetry of the moment by provoking the feeling that each day is like an empty page before it is transcribed in book-matter.
