William Kentridge: The Gap of Meaning: Between Clarity and Forgetfulness, A Making Toward

 William Kentridge: Thinking on One's Feet - A Walking Tour of the Studio


How is meaning dependent on memory? How is memory a blockchain of its process?

In this video, William Kentridge explores the flux of making, how the defined becomes undefined, and the undefined becomes defined. 

How does his discussion translate to asemics? Not that this question is necessary, but the answer does provide a kind of map for those willing to make this journey.

The approach Kentridge takes very much follows the Lockean assemblage, the Hegelian Aufhebung, and the Derridean contest of the between. This between, this gap, defines the relationship Kentridge sees, for example, between disassembly and collage as well as other dialectical proxies (between ... and ...) in this process.

And here? For asemics, ... rejects the {} interpretation, and for pansemics, .. accepts {all} interpretation while desemantics makes for a  kind of {directional} Aufhebung
