Dostojewski, Monat Januar
A meticulous grid of handwritten numerical notations and text fills each of the sixteen panels, reflecting Darboven's signature system of translating time and cultural references into obsessive, rhythmic mark-making. Photographic gelatin silver prints are woven into the composition, anchoring the abstract numerical language to imagery evocative of Dostoevsky's literary world. The work merges literature, time, and personal methodology into a dense, archive-like meditation on the passage of January and the weight of human thought.
