From the Root of Her Tongue by SO-YEON KIM

10,00 €

From the Root of Her Tongue by So-Yeon Kim explores language origins through signs, symbols, and iconography. It transforms written script into a visual narrative, engaging readers in a visual language experience with meticulously curated images from second-hand books and archives. This visual sequence mimics written syntax, encouraging readers to explore the power of images as language.

Mariana Lobão’s accompanying text Weaving the Mesh (Spider Thoughts) examines weaving, memory, and cognition. Inspired by Kim’s work and Paolo Veronese's painting of Arachne, Lobão explores the myth of Arachne and Athena, linking weaving to cultural memory and comparing the spider's web to human thought.
