Content and Its Container

Paper as Container

An object as content is inherently self-contained—it does not require an external container (as seen in ready-made art).

In contrast, paper functions as a container, distinguished by its ability to accumulate marks, smudges, coffee stains, and creases. Once scanned, these traces are no longer just residual marks on the medium but become content itself.

The Ordering of Content

This discussion is not about the characteristics of the container itself but rather how content is placed within the container.

1. Dividing the content into four equal parts (vertically and horizontally) and placing each section into separate grids.

2. Differentiating between background and subject.

3. Categorizing based on the goose’s body parts: head, torso, and feet.
