Lotte Leerschool

04.05 – 12.05.2024

In Liking the Same Thing, Lotte Leerschool reproduces her ink drawings by photocopying them onto colored paper, shifting the emphasis from the singular mark to its circulation. The copied line does not lose its specificity; instead, reproduction becomes a means of sharpening its formal qualities.
The arrangement of the images plays with the concave and convex folds of the curtains, while paper rolls placed in the corridor echo the image drum of the Xerox machine, bringing the mechanism of reproduction into the physical space. The monumental columns form part of this dramaturgy. As spectators move between them, their bodies echo the lines of the drawings.

The exhibition was accompanied by a pop-up booklet in which the essay appears alongside reduced reproductions of the drawings. Printed at a much smaller scale than the originals, the reproduced marks begin to read like glyphs, suspended between writing and drawing, extending the work’s reflection on reproduction, legibility, and the status of the line.
