'This work is a manual copy of the pages of 'In the desert of thought - Notebooks and diaries 1950-1973' by Hannah Arendt, ed. BEAT, a publication of 29 manuscript workbooks, in which the author notes and deepens her reflections [...]. Copying allows for an in-depth reading, a dictation of the text, sometimes intellectually incomprehensible, but which in any case crosses the body from the eyes to the hand, from page (read) to page (written). A true copying of printed pages. A meditation on the process of writing and reading. An act of reading. The faculty of thinking, rethinking thoughts, reflecting, in search of truth'. Sabrina Mezzaqui
