… more important for Hejduk is Braque’s Studio III, in which a bird flies through a wall, a painting that Hejduk obsessed over because in it the wall is not an object as such but rather a singularity that nevertheless possesses auniversality, directing and determining how that object appears at a certain time and place. The wall must constantly transform and deform itself into its other; it must direct discrepancies to its unity; for example, it must have a bird fly through it. The wall events the bird as the bird events the wall in a singular assemblage.
