Themes

VIDEO BOX 9

On Writing

The mediality of language in sound (voice) and image (writing) is the point of departure for numerous audiovisual works of art. How does communication occur? By which cultural features and conventions is it guided? And what happens when it fails? These are several of the questions around which the thematic series “On Writing” revolves.
