Joëlle Tuerlinckx’s Moments d’espace brings together text, image, and sound in a form that moves between artist’s book and theoretical reflection.

Structured through 591 PowerPoint panels, the work unfolds as a sequence of subjective and partly autobiographical thoughts on the paradox of space, articulated through what the artist calls “text-images.” French remains the primary language, accompanied by English subtitles, while the visual sequence is conceived in close relation to the temporality of projection and performance.

The publication extends this approach into book form. Rather than simply transcribing the lecture-performance, it reworks it as a printed object, preserving the grammatical and punctuational particularities of the French text while presenting a newly translated English version. Designed in dialogue with Thomas Desmet, the book reinterprets the visual and textual structure of the projected panels and emphasizes the hybrid character of the work, poised between notation, reflection, and image sequence.

Two inserted loose sheets, described as pages flottantes, further underline the book’s object quality. As facsimiles of early colour proofs, they introduce an additional layer of process and materiality, reinforcing the sense that Moments d’espace is not only a text to be read, but a spatial and visual proposition in its own right.
