warped vowels is an experimental translation of Nadah El Shazly’s song “Barzakh” into five dislocated poems, montaged together as a pattern that unfolds on a handmade paper made of recycled rice straws. Bouncing off an untranslatable title; a word in necessity of its cultural and religious context; the work leaps into the tactility of language. Attempting to open up language to the point where it becomes available to touch, the legible is weaved together with the illegible; sensuously performing gestural and crafting aspects of writing from the chaos of scribble.
Edition of ten, each with different measurements and density.
warped vowels is part of Hanna Wildow's artistic research project gränsen / el houdoud. The works have been exhibited at Cimatheque, Cairo (2018) and Konstfrämjandet Bergslagen, 2018.
