Description (in English)

Poetry. Women's Studies. To the question posed, to Job, as obviously unanswerable—have you seen to the edge of the universe?— Strickland's poems answer, we can, we have. Strickland probes the shape-shifting (reformatted) body and tests our changing (reconfigured) capability of caring for others as she expresses grief for historic, mystic, and mythic women; for women who burn, in space, at the stake, and as they sweep; for her mother and only daughter. Job is asked, Where is the road to light? In these poems, gathered from a lifetime of writing open to history, to code, to mathematics and matter as these translate each other, an abundance of pointers: no road that is not a road to light.

"Calar-se não é ser mudo, é recusar falar, portanto falar ainda". (Jean-Paul Sartre)

Por entre os processos centrípetos/centrífugos de rarefacção que permeiam a comunicação, uma sequência de processos palavrofágicos por meio do qual a palavra é devorada, mastigada, digerida e devolvida, para de novo ser engolida. Apresentando-se sob a forma de três variações – “Absorção” (instalação fotográfica), “Devoração” (publicação em papel e tinta comestíveis), “Consumição” (interface digital) – a série “PALAVROFAGIA” pretende explorar possibilidades intermediais e transliterárias de representação da palavra poética. Da visão háptica na fotografia/cromatografia ao toque háptico na poesia digital, passando pela multisensorialidade do livro comestível, esta série sugere uma contaminação constante entre tecnologias analógicas e digitais, representada por três formas geométricas mutáveis de disposição da palavra.

Description (in English)

This multimedia work is a remake of the 1960s collection "El hacedor" by Jorge Luis Borges. Agustín Fernández Mallo maintains the structure and chapter titles, but changes the content to demonstrate how the material gains symbolic significance over time. One paradigmatic example includes the remake of Borges's story "Mutations". Agustín Fernández Mallo's take on it presents a narrator who recreates Robert Smithson's 1967 famous journey through the use of google maps as well as images that compare the journeys. In this regard, the text conveys a comparison between the in-person and the virtual journeys, thereby exploring the temporal difference and the impacts of technology and societal context.

  • "Pero, de alguna manera, tengo la sensación de que todo sigue igual, como si la personalidad de un lugar la otorgaran las fotografías como si las fotografías valieran no para distinguir y clasificar épocas sino para buscar la constante de una ecuación que involucra al tiempo y al carácter." (69)

"Solo fui una vez, se hacia en el Parque Forestal, me choco ver a una niñá que yo conocia, no me acuerdo si del colegio o del barrio, vestida de sevillana, a mi nunca me disfrazaron, de hecho no recuerdo nada tipicamente andaluz en mi infancia, a parte de los viajes periodicos a Santaella y aquella unica vez que fuimos a La Alpujarra..." (p. 9)
