This reads “ON JANUARY THIRD, WAIT!” all in upper case. The form of scroll is often used in Nam June Paik’s works; for example, he wrote instructions of Fluxus scores calligraphically on a scroll, or employed an existing scroll of old painting as part of his installations. This scroll having an English sentence look like a piece of calligraphy, although each word in horizontal writing, because of a vertical flow of the sentence. The last word “WAIT!” is separated away from the other words to the lowest part of the scroll so that the composition seems to materialize a pause to wait.
