the impossibility of the organisation as a book

a book of two-sided drawings stitched together

lines made with a  pen and ink, traces of acting

any organisatie leaves its traces, asynchronously

based on a more or less orchestrated collection of individual acting

traces of various dimensions of organisational life

weaving layers of tissue

reflecting an image of that organisation

layers of attention, of producing, deliberations,

of environmental imprints, economic results

stitched together by an imaginary narrative

the book

to discern the details of just parts of the pages

fractions of patterns, contrasts and discontinuities

frozen in time

to be falsified by the progress in time

the impossibility to truly picture the whole

the book as an artificial reconstruction of a non-existent reality

yet we can enjoy the book as a monument of wonder
