Summary:This article focuses on dialogue between inquiry and art. What happens as words change into pictures? Do word and picture meet each other and, if they do, how? The article has a three-layered process of writing. First, there is the layer of word-picture-performance itself. In this performance, the researcher/writer (Inkeri Sava) produces the words, the artist/painter (Kari Nuutinen) draws the pictures for them. Second, there is the layer of a reflective textual dialogue. Finally, there is a general discussion, a meta-text—opening and closing curtain—about the word-picture-performation and reflections on it. As a whole, the article asks whether the meeting place of word and picture is a question of change, transformation, sliding, flowing, or streaming of word/text into a picture (or vice versa) in the associative, arts-based or performative dialogue between a writer and maker of pictures.
