Focus of the project is on the adaptation from language, poetry specifically, to moving image. Poetry by nature is a collage of imagery (analogies, metaphors and hyperboles). To get the same story across through a different medium you change the way it is "told" by virtue of a different vocabulary. What seems natural in written and spoken language becomes rather theatrical and camp in visual imagery. This element of conflation and contrast is something I wanted to retain as opposed to solve / avoid. Additionally, there's also something about materiality that feels political almost in an age of such invisible editing processes <br><br><br><br>

Indirectly related to abjection. That which is consumed, conventionally, does not confuse the boundaries between Object and Abject. In that sense the project is related to previous projects: <I> Abjection on a Silver Platter </I>
