Document met bericht aan M.J. Sanou Possibly 1940

This document was created in Amsterdam on October 24, 1940, by the office of the Four Year Plan. It's a bureaucratic artifact, a tool of administration, yet it holds a strange kind of power. Look at the typewriter font. Each letter is uniformly impressed, a regimented grid across the page. Except for the signature at the bottom – a rebellious scrawl that breaks the rigid order. It’s the mark of a human hand, a moment of personal expression amidst the cold, impersonal text. The paper itself has aged, yellowed, and creased with time. It’s tactile and fragile, a relic of a specific moment in history. The ink is faded but still legible, each word a testament to the power of language, its capacity to control and define. This isn't just a document; it's a silent witness, a tangible fragment of a past that continues to resonate. Think of Hannah Arendt, or On Kawara, in the strange resonance of these traces of the past.
