“Much of Letinsky’s work alludes to human presence, without including any actual figures. For example, in the Morning and Melancholia (c. 1997-2001), and the I Did Not Remember I Had Forgotten (c. 2002-2004) series, Letinsky seems to document the aftermath of a sumptuous gathering or dinner party. Faded flower petals intermingle with empty glasses and crumbs of food on partially cleared tables, often covered with a white linen that bears the mark of spilled wine.
As alluded in the title Morning and Melancholia these scenes are often filled with a fresh, clear light, as though one is viewing from the perspective of the morning after, what the host failed to clean up the evening before. However, the title of the series itself is a reference to an essay by Freud, Mourning and Melancholia, which discusses the human response to loss.
The title I Did Not Remember I Had Forgotten also has a literary source; it refers to a line by St. Augustine, commenting on memory, ‘One would never say I did not remember I had forgotten.’ Letinsky responded:
‘I was thinking, No, that’s not right! Actually, I felt I had just come to this moment where I did not remember that I had forgotten, and it had to do with music. I’d gone for three years without listening to music. I would drive in the car and I would want silence, or I would listen to talk shows. Then for some reason I began listening to the radio, and some of the CDs I had around, and it was almost like drinking water after being really thirsty. I took such pleasure in it. Somehow, I did not remember that I’d forgotten to turn on the music.’”
FLOUR-LESS CHOCOLATE CAKE
Serves 8 - 10
(Gluten free)Ingredients:
- 6 ounces unsweetened dark chocolate, broken into pieces
- 1 1/2 cups organic vanilla soy milk or non-dairy vanilla milk, heated
- 1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla
- 1 14-oz can organic pumpkin puree
- 1 1/4 cup organic golden brown sugar
- 1/2 cup GF buckwheat flour
- 2 tablespoons tapioca or potato starch
- 1 tablespoon dry Ener-G Egg Replacer
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon or ginger
Method:
- Place the chocolate pieces in the Vita-Mix container; add the hot coffee and heated hemp milk. Cover tightly! Turn on the mixer to high. Blend until chocolate pieces are melted. Add the vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree. Cover. Tight!
- Blend a minute. Add the brown sugar, buckwheat flour, tapioca, egg replacer, xanthan gum, sea salt, baking powder, cinnamon or ginger. Cover. Blend on high for a minute. Turn it off (unplug it for safety if you have kids nearby). Open the top and using a plastic spatula scrape down the sides if any flour is sticking to the sides- if you’re using a food processor instead, do the same. Cover. Plug back in.
