As a screen to escape, an open window, a vanishing picture, Palimpsest stimulates our capacity to see. Usually an act of deletion, here 'to erase' means to generate an image. The act draws a negative space. It transforms what we can see into a shape we can feel, drawing our attention to the ground, the residues.
Etymologically, a palimpsest is a medium from which writing has been partially or completely erased to make room for another text. It is also a psychological mechanism by which new memories take the place of older ones.
