Letters to Time from RZLBD

Letters to Time Ritual is a machine for the destruction of time. _ Claude Lévi Strauss With the invasion of digital media — the abundance of all sort of smart gadgets at our disposal, and the fashionable trend of texting, instant messaging, FaceTiming, Zooming, and many more — taking the time to write a letter on piece of paper has become obsolete, or at least a forgotten craft! Even more so if that letter has been typed with a manual typewriter. To take it one step further, this may also seem like an unusual idea if that letter is written to someone or something that is out of our reach! Odd maybe, but of course, this is not new. Indeed, the idea has been around for a long time and for many reasons mostly to deal with grief, to pay an overdue respect, to make a confession, to secretly declare love and affection or obsession, and the like. This one in particular is dedicated to Time! _RZLBD * RZLBD Letters is an ongoing project exploring the capacity of letter as a medium and manual typewriter as an instrument beyond their common / utilitarian purpose. Call this a romantic love affair or a nostalgic scribble, these correspondences allow me to spend extra time and delve deeper into some visual domains / topics that are important to me. Pursuing the letters in serial format articulates a body of work that offers many readings. _ Typewriter ink on paper 21cm x 28cm (8 1/2” x 11”) each © Atelier RZLBD / Reza Aliabadi / 2020, Toronto, Canada #RZLBD #art #typography #type #olivetti #valentine #typewriter #valentinetypewriter #painting #drawing #diagram #letter #time #hourglass #sandtimer #sandclock
