June 17th

In collaboration, two become one, but the process isn’t always easy—it requires constant negotiation. Who speaks and who is silenced?In “June 17th” two figures attempt to tell one story, in the process raising questions about how we narrate and construct our lives, who we are, and what we know. Based on Borsuk and Andy Fitch’s As We Know (Subito, 2014), an erased and redacted diary that presents the most unmediated-seeming idiom—the diurnal, journalistic record—as itself the consequence of methodical and whimsical extraction, this project foregrounds the tensions of authorship that arise within the text.
