Murmurs heard from an indigo bush
(video/text/object - 2021, NL)
An experiment with the mechanical performativity of automatons together with the performativity of images within a poem.
These images, sustained as a possibility through the work of language, were put to function as suggestive mechanisms of objects.
The poem is about the desire to plant a murmur left on the bench by a man.
The hope of the poem was that the man would recognize the murmur in the color produced by the plant.
It regards the specific ways the Indigo is made, in which the crushing of leaves and the contact with oxygen is paralleled with the resounding utterance of that man’s murmurs.
