- Title:
- Will Self: 'Key Stroke' (JG, a film project by Tacita Dean)
- Scope & Content:
-
The material in this file relates to JG (2013), a film project by Tacita Dean, inspired by the story 'The Voices of Time' (1960) by J. G. Ballard and by Robert Smithson's earthwork 'Spiral Jetty' (1970).
Will Self's text 'Keystroke' was published in an artist's book prepared to accompany the project. The publication combined Self's 'Key Stroke' text with photographs taken by Dean in California (Death Valley and Mono Lake), and Utah (Rozel Point, Great Salt Lake) using a camera owned by Ballard.
- (1). 'Key Stroke'. Typewritten, pp. 1-10. Uncorrected carbon copy. Dated 19 Dec 2012. Typed upon a typewriter (Olympia Monica) owned by J. G. Ballard.
- (2). Related autograph notes and 'post-it 'notes (4 sheets).
- (3). Photocopied pages from a notebook into which a number of colour images have been pasted. The images are stills from the film JG by Tacita Dean. The autograph text in the notebook is not in Self's hand, suggesting that the notebook pages are Dean's. Two 'post-it' notes by Self are attached to the fourth sheet (12 colour photocopy sheets).
- (4). Two copies of the booklet 'Key Stroke' by Will Self and Tacita Dean, which forms one part of the publication JG by Tacita Dean (Arcadia University Art Gallery, Philadelphia, 2013). The published text of 'Key Stroke' appears as a scan of the corrected typewritten text. For the complete publication see Add MS 89203/2/4/158.
