Dan Lichtman

Untitled consists of a series of text fragments from the artist’s diary from age ten onwards. Over the course of the piece the language changes; at the beginning it is sweet and light, later more focused, cataloguing. The austere, impersonal, PowerPoint aesthetic contrasts with the deeply personal and human textual elaboration of memory, thereby moving the work into a realm beyond that of the autobiographical.
