Recorded Expansions of Infinite Things is a large screen made of letters printed on silicone. The superimposed print presents the fictional layering of all possible books written over a long period of time, recorded on a two-dimensional surface. Histories yet untold are frozen into one single of infinite versions of an ever-changing text. The originally solid and inflexible shapes of the printed letters struggle with the translucence of the material for maintaining their stable form.
