Curriculum Vitae by Dieter Roth (1970)

A dense thicket of typewritten text sprawls across the page. This is Dieter Roth’s *Curriculum Vitae*, a visual autobiography in ink on paper. Letters overlap, smudge, and bleed into one another, forming a grid that feels both orderly and chaotic. Margins are ignored; the text spills to the edges, as if resisting confinement. The monochrome palette sharpens the contrast, turning words into texture rather than narrative. Hang it in a study or hallway where close inspection rewards the curious—every glance reveals another layer of detail.
