Affective Breaks is an artistic research project collaboratively processing linguistic, political and emotional aspects of translation. Through performative inquiries, engendered as lectures, video, sound, books and installations, dimensions of translation are explored, while at the same time being embodied and performed. The project targets the movement and displacement that can be found in languages – shiftings, breakages, slippages and gaps. Interspaces are explored – in between words, cultures, bodies – in search of places where language reaches its own limits and stops itself; becomes lost, skewed, queer.
Affective Breaks consists of a series of overlapping interdisciplinary works, collaboratively engendered together with Inga Svensson, Imri Sandström, Laida Aguirre, Sara Kaaman, Moa-Lina Croall, Moa Edlund, Athena Farrokhzad, Elin Magnusson and Cristina Caprioli, and an essay bringing the poetry and theory of the project together into printed text.
