reader's digest

Thinking about doing a storefront installation in a bookstore has gotten me thinking more about how the body is involved in ideas and language. When you read, you recite and internalize someone elses written words. You take in their mind. You become a vessel, clear your own internal narrative for a certain span of time. You ingest their statements and then choose to accept and adopt or reject.

I see a tongue licking a brain. To let a foreigner in and take them in at the same time. A reader digests.
