absence

ABSENCE

Is this text considered to be fake? To be mistaken for something else than a text? Thus, something else than a sequence of exact words forming sentences and suggesting meaning?

BLANK

blank

Would there be something meaningful at all? At last, and in absence of words, shapes and images, wouldn’t there be just a blank space, a void? And would this very vacuum have no meaning at all? Permit yourself to drift from what you are reading at this very moment into another situation … imagine a situation that, in all likelihood, you’ve never been in.
