Projektbeschreibung

The exhibition “Lost in Translation” deals with new forms of communication - with non-human animals, with plants, with devices, and even with stones. It questions and examines our known methods of interaction. Is a cough already an utterance? How can a text be written without words? Can machine sounds be translated into human expression? And how to communicate with a many centuries old stone?

At “Der Laden - Verein für Kunst und Kultur e.V.” eight students explore the limits of human language, the liminal of speech. During the course “Lost in Translation. Writing and Speaking at the borders of language” the starting point of this endeavour were posthumanistic debates criticizing the anthropocene.

We are living in an age of environmental destruction and accelerated mechanization. We are permanently connected through digital devices. But does that mean that we have a better understanding of each other? How could understanding each other be different if we traveled to the border of language?
