Smoke, Birds, Pun, Crisis. A Dialogic Glossary
Language is always there: before and after and
all over the place. We’re not writing this glossary for the fun of it. But omnipresence
and causality are two different pairs of shoes. The works play cat and mouse with these shoes, as they present the viewer
with the most commonplace and charged symbols: apples and hearts. But they are woven into such intricate
conjuring strategies that even these otherwise so unshakeable archetypes lose
their logical narratives. They demand new patterns with which to tie the shoes:
ways of looking at things (and thus: ways of acting, ways of being) that cannot
just be pigeonholed in well-known and familiar language, but which much rather
shimmer indecisively.
