Blurry Angel: Letters on liking

Blurry Angel: Letters on liking is the shared and intertwined epistolary space of Benedikt Kuhn and me. After a mutual friend introduced us, our meeting unfolded into writing emails back and forth, revealing a shared interest in the works of Unica Zürn, Leonora Carrington, Else Blankenhorn and Paula Rego. In an attempt to find out what we both like about these and other works, we navigate the writing of Bourdieu, Glissant and Berlant, exploring relations such as automation and feeling, synchronized affect and desubjectivation, and the history and present of surrealism. 

This publication holds the affirmations, doubts, allusions and references in our thinking-while-relating. Consisting of three parts – a letter exchange, a text written together in a literary game of exquisite corpse, and a reflective postscript by writer Marija Cetinić – these addresses offer different windows into our enmeshed taste.
