Inhabiting Language draws attention to the interactive quality of words, interactive in the sense that they can come to live through an intense awareness of their power to shape our consciousness, our sense of being, our cognitive abilities. Language remains a central aspect of our identities, of any kind of knowledge structure, bridging every discipline and linking scientific research, philosophy, ideology, religion, culture and the arts. With this work I would like to present the notion that we intensify our awareness that language is a rich resource available to us which we can continue to develop as a creative act, with insight, deepened knowledge, responsibility and a striving for the acknowledgement of sentient and human qualities in a cautionary assertion of the developing field of artificial intelligence.
Thingness in Doubt (2023)
In the process of restructuring my library during the COVID pandemic, I documented a seemingly exessive number of objects, documents, publications, found items within my familiar environment.
This ritualized, daily gesture continued over a period of 636 consecutive days, resulting in an accumulation approaching one thousand elements.
Natural lighting conditions, visible in each recording, made the passage of time perceptible as a unique temporal condition with each image.
The subtitle “Object lessons for things” frames a construct encompassing both - definitions of things in a philosophical context - as well as conceptual and psychoanalytic models of objects. An accompanying publication pairs a large number of forms, invoking a sense of doubt and an ongoing search to articulate new meaning through a reconsidered frame of reference.
