Over het boek
F u g u e is a collection of sixteen ‘Cut-up’ poems generated by borrowing and recombining text from culture: online articles, neighborhood bulletin boards, song lyrics, film, scripts, television, news radio, etc.
The poems explore the fugue (both musical and psychological). The word’s roots have to do with fleeing - a musical fugue is associated with the baroque and is a composition of successively entering voices, moving away from each other and interweaving. Dissociative or psychogenic fugue entails a flight from one’s daily reality. This rare psychological phenomenon usually involves a person temporarily losing their identity and is referred to as a state of bewildered wandering.’ At their core, the poems explore what constitutes a Self and an Other, whether this is a wild animal, a parent, or a robot.
