Yet, as the work progresses, the idea of reading itself becomes a key element of the show. As in his other sculptures, the intent of reading is not to classify or to describe but rather to see, and to see how a specific visual and verbal arrangement of words and/or images can be used to generate a meaningful meaning. Diaspora (a kind of artifice) is the most effective way to show how reading can be a means of seeing.With this exhibition, the artist opens the way for new generations of readers to discover the variety of visual and verbal uses of meaning that can be made possible by the multiplicity of meanings and relationships that can be constructed within a single work. The thought that is expressed in the artist's sculptures and collages is that meaning can be creatively employed to create a world that is not reducible to its historical and/or social context. In this way, reading as the means of seeing is not only a means of seeing but also a means of producing an art that is not reducible to its material existence, and therefore, is not always reducible to its social reality. Many of the works in the show show this notion, for example, the large mural-size collage of letters, words, and photographs, and the collage collage of collages and collages of letters, words, and photographs that hangs in the middle of the exhibition, are examples of the use of a multiplicity of meanings to generate meaning. In a related sense, reading as the means of seeing is not only a means of seeing but also a means of creating an art that is not reducible to its material existence, and therefore, is not always reducible to its social reality.

The words, however, are not the words that accompany the pictures. At best they are mere hints. In any case they are not subtle, nor are they subtle. They are subtle. Lyrics, say, are small, their meaning insignificant. The lyrics are large, their meaning enormous. Here is a poem that, for me, is too large to be read, too small to be understood, too obscure to be read.The poems are so small, their meaning so small, that they dont make any difference. I dont like the poems, and I dont like the poems. If the poem were small, then the poem would be too small, and too obscure. If the poem were big, then the poem would be too big, and too obscure. The poem is so small, it doesnt make any difference. One poem is too big. One poem is too small. One poem is too big. One poem is too small. One poem is too small. One poem is too large.

Fifty-four photos, all from the past three years, were organized into seven themes. (The title of the exhibition is aptly Barcode, the same as the French word for barcode.) The title of one photo, a portrait of a woman in her bare skin, depicts a girlishly dressed figure in a pajamas in the middle of a snowy field, giving the impression of a bush with a head for a neck; another shows the artist in a room, bare-chested and hooded, with a pillowcase hanging over her head; a third shows a woman sitting on a bed covered with snow, her legs spread wide. The selection is of course revealing, yet it also includes some unexpected gems: a portrait of the artist in a woman's body, a group of old-fashioned photographs, and a rare photograph of the artist himself.And yet despite its multiple layers of meaning, the show was not without its unexpected moments. When juxtaposed with a photograph of the artist posing with a woman, it seems to imply that Hauser & Wirth have a strong affection for the artistic process, that their art is about the creation of something like a personal diary. Yet the artists embrace of each subject is in no sense self-contained, as it is in the works of other artists whose work is in some way involved with the creation of a personal diary, such as Marina Abramovic, whose work is an autobiography of the process of writing a book on the subject of her own dreams.
