In the Trascrizioni series from 1974 Blank reduces writing to tracing of the transcribed texts – retaining only the typographic layout of poetry, newspapers and books from which they are taken. Recording form and erasing individual letters simultaneously, Blank captures the look of text whilst imbuing it with a new meaning entirely.
