Letraset on perspex cone, motorised turntable, text by Liliane Lijn.

In 1962 I first applied words in letraset onto the surface of cylinders and cones, then fixed them to motorized turntables, and made them spin at different speeds. I wanted the word to be seen in movement, dissolving into a pure vibration until it became the energy of sound.
