Deleuze. “The Fold-Leibniz and the Baroque: The Pleats of Matter.”

The outside is not a fixed limit but a moving matter animated by peristaltic movements, folds and foldings that together make up an inside: they are not something other than the outside, but precisely the inside of the outside.

Deleuze, Gilles. “The Fold-Leibniz and the Baroque: The Pleats of Matter.”

Thus a continuous labyrinth is not a line dissolving into independent points, as flowing sand might dissolve into grains, but resembles a sheet of paper divided into infinite folds or separated into bending movements, each one determined by the consistent or conspiring surrounding… A fold is always folded within a fold, like a cavern in a cavern.

Deleuze, Gilles. “The Fold-Leibniz and the Baroque: The Pleats of Matter.”

The fold is never to be accepted as a singular event but rather it is to be seen as a population of many folds.Even its antonym ‘unfolding’ is not to be understood as the opposite of the fold as the language may suggest but rather it follows the fold up to the following fold. It is itself a multiple of the fold.

In that empire, the craft of cartography attained such perfection that the map of a single province covered the space of an entire city and the map of the empire itself an entire province. In the course of time, these extensive maps were found somehow wanting, and so the College of Cartographersevolved a map of the empire that was of the same scale as the empire and that coincided with it point for point. The following generations, less attentive to the study of cartography, came to judge a map of such magnitude cumbersome and quite useless and it was abandoned to the rigours of sun and rain. In the western deserts, tattered fragments of the map are still to be found sheltering an occasional beast or beggar; in all the land, no other relic is left of the discipline of geography.

when does a bend become a fold?

when does an object become itself?

each object has its own unique story which

changes with each view

a thing is just a thing without a story

the link between the pleat and the liperello (concertina) binding

When physically spending time in the presence of the objects in the collections meaningful links flow, reflection through interaction becomes a form of conversational meditation.

The pleat is to reduce, to diminish, and to withdraw. Unfolding is to increase, to grow to gain volume.A dialogue is set up between the inside and outside, dark and the light, the negative and the positive

To collect a sequence of objects is, for a moment at least, to have imposed some sense of order on a universe that doesn’t have any......an attempt to defy the threat of mortality.....Objects are the way in which we measure out the passing of our lives. They are what we use to define ourselves, to signal who we are, and who we are not.
