LARSSON, Karl
Poetical Assumption

“Writing starts with an assumption. There has to be space in which work
can evolve - let's assume a context. There has to be a medium in which to
communicate - let's assume a language. There has to be someone out there
to receive it all - let's assume a reader.

In Christianity, assumption stands for the bodily translation of an individual, from earth to heaven, and in a military terminology, assumption is (yet) another definition of taking control or power over a region.

What is poetical assumption?”
