“Making one’s own thing and a common cause,” following this programmatic approach of Fraktalwerk, a book was created especially for the art project “Pavillon Simone Weil” in Geneva, Switzerland, which will be on display there from May 16 to 31, 2026. Robert Krokowski, Sonja Knoll and Marlen Wagner present in it a very particular reading of selected texts by Simone Weil. Through means of blackout poetry, new texts in German emerge which, translated into French, also offer another reading in Weil’s mother tongue. Robert Krokowski’s Letters of the Angels/Schrift der Engel, Sonja Knoll’s embroidered signs and Wagner’s bark script comment on this reading. The technical construction of the book makes it possible to turn the pages in different ways and to newly constellate the pages.
