Hypograms – ‘Mapping Budapest’ Archive FOTÓK

— Project of Jezzica Dolby —

A hypogram can be defined as a semantic or other pattern which calls attention to itself. It is embedded and disseminated within its context, and born in conversion and expansion. For French novelist Marcel Proust it is a mistaken reading, for Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Sassure the trope of apostrophe, for Hungarian poet and prose-writer Dezső Kosztolányi, it is a sub-text.

For artist Jessica Dolby (UK) hypograms are articulating in site-specific installations as microdrawings in public spaces. She creates them as ‘theme-words’ in the urban texture. ‘I do see my practice as a comma, as a breath, that is so fleeting in the urban stories and landscapes, perhaps you don’t even notice it in your everyday path.’ Her detailed hand-drawings in their arranged sequences of patterns, the fictive street networks on her maps transform determined philosophical and environmental meanings, based on a kind of feminist approach and corporeal thinking within urban art.

The selected collection of her project: ‘Mapping Budapest’ (2015) will be at this time exhibited in the scene of Művelődési Szint (Müszi), instead of in the format of temporary (sometimes guerilla) installations – to find a transition between public scenes, with an inward and outward gaze.
