Title “The Willful Creation of Error”. An Investigation into Language Accessibility and its Circulation
Format Project presentation
Main language English
Abstract Introducing a selection of my long-term projects focusing on language–ranging from human rights repositories and legal texts, to newspapers and fictional correspondences– the exposition
illustrates my research on language accessibility.
The works presented here share a same strategy, that is a conscious, conceptual misunderstanding in their premises, in the very way they are offered to the viewer, to suggest and highlight the gap existing between the texts, as they are formulated, and their reception or enforcement.
