Thank you booklet

At the end of my S(Es)graph/S(Es)gram residency, five participants and the Director—each a researcher from a different field—created a ten-page booklet as a farewell gift. Their reflections, notes of gratitude, and responses to the project came as a complete surprise to me. Encountering these writings in a physical form was deeply moving.

From the very beginning, through the open call, I sensed that the participants already carried a certain vision and understanding of what the project sought to explore. Each researcher approached the process through their own disciplinary lens, yet something shared—and unplanned—began to form between us. By the end of the residency, this booklet became a crystallisation of that shared space: something that emerged naturally, beyond intention, method, or academic expertise.

For a project concerned with the unconscious—its gestures, durations, and invisible motivations—this booklet feels like a perfect concluding form. These reflections were not produced as research outputs or professional statements; they came from sincerity, intuition, and generosity. They reveal how art can open a dimension of exchange that lies beyond disciplinary boundaries: a space where scientists, artists, and scholars meet not through expertise, but through the deeper human undercurrents built into our unconscious.

In this way, the booklet stands as a quiet but powerful reminder of the role art can play within an academic community—making visible the connections, resonances, and forms of understanding that cannot be planned, measured, or articulated, yet are profoundly felt.
