MFT: Artifact in Raul Bueno' "Poesia Hispano-Americano De Vanguardia

You never know what you can find while surfing on the mighty web. But it always takes you by the surprise - some words that fall into your eye, onomatopeia, found poems, exciting images or just weird depictions of the page in the midst of loading. It pinches you and you get it - this is it. I like this possibility of unknown unknown. It really creates tension inside of me. I know there is something i will find but i have no idea what it is and where and when and how i will find it. 

This is a page found in the scan of Raul Bueno' seminal monography on Spanish-American Avantgarde Poetry. It is fascinating study of the phenomenon made by one of its direct participants. Consider this to be refined insiders look - balanced by time and colored by academic studies. But this page has nothing to do with the book. It is just an artifact that was made on the copy of the book that was scanned. But it is so fascinating as an art object. 


It is a vertical line, probably a scratch made either by thick pencil or greasy pen. Or it can be a thread fallen from somewhere and stuck on page. It is unclear. It might neither of mentioned. It reminds me of Lucio Fontana' Spatiale series with its strategically placed and framed cuts on the canvases. While directly unrelated it also call back to Piero Manzoni' Achrome series with its crumples of the cloth on the canvas. 

Look at this page? What do you see? What do you think it is? Tell me.
