Contextualisation of an unpublished document as text collage: Tate Jukka and Pekka (2016)

Turtola, Niina

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to contextualise an unpublished document titled Tate Jukka and Pekka (2016) through the method of experimental writing: text collage. Contextualisation happens through a literature review, re-visioning and returning to the document with an analytical mindset, then a description of the visual constraints found on the page layout and what can be taken forward from that. Tate Jukka and Pekka (2016) is an agenda to highlight the absurdity of found texts and to act as a social critique. Reading the document between the lines is offered by a distorted layout construction where a parallel act of concealing and revealing semantic textual content is mediated by visual means and constraints. Tate Jukka and Pekka (2016) is a textual experiment in distorting the modern and closed printed book page and this happens by bringing a dissonant form and dissident content into the page and laying out and structuring the page into something that is far from the habitual printed document.
