How to make language an object through typing certain things backwards?

To first of all define the word ‘Stating’ and then to show the word itself as a possible object in space by typing the definition backwards; this will then help explain the reasoning behind the work that is being made. Defining the word stating is to perhaps distinguish its meaning, linguistically, from the word showing. Then there is a certain process that deals with how the act of defining can also be an act of representing. Therefore to represent something is to define it against something else; thus the duality of the pieces that are made. The objects that are made are that of archival references to certain understandings of something, and this something is usually an in depth look at an everyday occurrence, illusion, or object.

In this situation the everyday object is the electrical tape, the occurrence is it’s unwinding and application, and the illusion is its maintaining of size. The illusion of size of course depends on an application of measurement, which necessitates a concept of proportion and perspective.

Then there comes the complexities of recording occurrence. As an occurrence is ephemeral there will be a need to film its happening. Then there comes the problem of filming, as in the very actualities of making the film. In this there are inherent problems to do with perspective and a maintaining of proportion and such inherences are then reflected of course in the very way in which the film is presented.

The way in which the film is to be presented is where the appearance of the work then becomes scrutinised: it is this scrutiny that I am interested in and how certain illusionistic capabilities can render the very simple contents of the film as non-changing in its presented environment.
