Tagesrechnung Monat Dezember, 1989
1989
A meticulous arrangement of handwritten numerical notations and calculations fills sheets of squared graph paper, reflecting Darboven's systematic approach to translating time into visual form. The work documents the month of December 1989 through her signature mathematical language, in which dates and numbers are summed and reduced into personal ciphers. Ink marks accumulate across the gridded surface with a rhythmic, almost compulsive regularity, transforming the passage of days into an abstract yet deeply ordered record.
