‘Impulse’ translates the physical and mental sensations of swimming into book form. Inspired by the symmetrical movement of breaststroke, the pages can be opened from the center outwards. The text poetically describes the relationship between body, space, and mind while swimming. The text strips are arranged in a helix shape and imitate water waves through their rotation. The illustrations in the first part of the book depict the movement sequences of a body while swimming in abstract form. In the second section, the waves form a head. This second section also describes, on a textual level, the transition to the meditative state of mind that arises in the course of swimming.
