#string – @nickkahler on Tumblr

It is as though the space between us were time: an irrevocable quality. It is as though time, no longer running straight before us in a diminishing line, now runs parallel between us like a looping string, the distance being the doubling accretion of the thread and not the interval between.

William Faulkner, As I Lay Dying, 1930

Andre Breton + Marcel Duchamp, First Papers of Surrealism Exhibition, New York City, NY, 1942 (via landscapearch)

“1942, Andre Breton organised a retrospective exhibition of Surrealist art in New York: First Papers of Surrealism. For the vernissage Marcel Duchamp created this installation – a gigantic web – called the Mile of String. He and Breton furthermore arranged for a number of children to ball in the room thereby making it very difficult for the guests to see the paintings.”
