Poema visual , Poema visual II
Visual Poem I, Visual Poem II
1988
Visual poetry means investigating an unknown area between the visual and the semantic. This is an area yet to be defined. It is neither drawing nor painting but a means of communication. It belongs to a new creativity that extends the concept of artistic profession. I've argued with designers because I am not one, and to make visual poetry I need their help. At first the problem was that I wanted to explain myself with a minimum of elements and they wanted to complicate things: painting colourful backgrounds, having fancy typefaces, etc. Bassas, Assumpta: ‘Entrevista a Joan Brossa’, Revista de l'alumnat de l'Escola d'Arts i Oficis, no. 5 (January–March 1988), pp. 3–16 When asked which work I like most, I always reply that it’s the one that hasn’t been done yet. I understand creation as an adventure, a parabola that opens itself up to infinity, forming a curve that should never be closed. Art is a process, and a halt in this process means a repetition. To repeat means falling into a formula and repeating formulas is what many young artists do to sell pictures... Me, I’m attracted to the unknown. An action once taken is an empty sack. Bassas, Assumpta: ‘Entrevista a Joan Brossa’, Revista de l'alumnat de l'Escola d'Arts i Oficis, no. 5 (January–March 1988), pp. 3–16
