In this collaboration between De Keersmaeker and Fillet, the drawings function as a companion score to the structure of the Goldberg Variations: compact yet layered fields, dense with texture and meaning. Although private in origin, they serve both as a crucial link in the creative process and as autonomous pictorial works within the oeuvre.

For De Keersmaeker, drawing is an immediate, bodily mode of thinking in which thought and gesture converge—a form of sensory reasoning in which hand movement and the resistance of the paper remain visible and tangible.
