This work is an encounter between Illustrator Luise Schaller and Typographer Marie Walser. Conceived in a state of interest in each other and each others practice, they began sharing diary excerpts, texts (both theoretical and poetic, both selfwritten and quoted), notes, thoughts. Providing an intimate insight into their experiences and interests, it reveals coincidental similarities but also differences in their way of thinking, noting, working. The fragmented textual portrait by the other was the material they began to work with in their own way. A steady exchange and mutual processing of each other's drafts and text fragments became their central mode. Rather than aiming for a linear working process and narrative, they sought fragmented visual organisation to capture an accurate picture of a personal experience. An unsteady landscape, a carpet of two voices was woven. Wandering through dreams, fears and observations, it is a thing as nebulous as it is precise.
