Bring staring at a wall back" is a risograph edition featuring a sentence written in pencil, on paper, during an episode of visual information overload. It is about a desire - constantly contradicted by reality - to be nothing, look like nothing, and see nothing.
This piece serves as a driving force for the work developed during the residency week at Underdogs, where the creative process - commonly dependent on controlled and wholesome solitude and physical comfort in constant emotional tension - is explored, resulting in visceral relief poured onto notebook pages. This edition is a manifesto of devotion to small acts of boredom, to the calm of tedium - like staring at the ceiling thinking about life.
