Self-taught, Chrystel Crickx used to cut out letters by hand and sell them by the piece in her Publi Fluor shop in Schaerbeek. Cut out between 1975 and 2000 for local advertising purposes, these letters have since been digitised and made more widely available to users around the world in other contexts. At the margins of standard means of communication, they have contributed and continue to contribute to the urban visual environment, in Brussels and elsewhere. This non-standard collective essay attempts to paint a portrait of both a woman and her objects - tools, letters, furniture and storage boxes - but also widens the field to follow the cracks between the different histories that this practice conjures up.
