Their connection emerges through the intersection of text and image between selected work from Cha’s oeuvre and Robert’s practice that share the formal strategies of the fold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobert’s work utilizes paper as a sculptural material, and his hand sometimes appears to shape the page. For Cha, the fold is present in her compositions enmeshing language through strategies of visual poetry, as in \u003cem\u003eL’Image Concrete feuille L’Objet Abstrait\u003c\/em\u003e (1976),  and \u003cem\u003eUntitled\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eaprès tu parti\u003c\/em\u003e) (1976) which are both previously unpublished. The possibility of overlaying one’s work with the other, emphasised by the book’s spiral-bound double spine, and reverse fold-outs, forges an intimacy, a shared sensibility, and an encounter with the corporeal. In conversation with editor Jacob Korczynski, Robert refers to Fred Moten’s \u003cem\u003eIn The Break\u003c\/em\u003e, stating, ‘Suddenly time falters.
