(installation/video/audio/text - 2022, NL)A three-part installation on the negotiation between the presence and intelligibility of languages from a reflection on the Uchinaaguchi, a language from Okinawa, Japan. Through imagined cross-sections in a photograph from my family’s archive,
a relation between a language and the landscape was contextualised within a diaspora from Okinawa to Brazil pre-WWI.
Each section focuses on coexistent orientations to differentiate linguistic contouring from a kind of inhabitation where particular experiences and an imaginary of languages and landscapes are held together through opacities. What kind of spaces could be imagined/walked through fragments of unspoken Uchinaaguchi?
A: the border (of the photograph)
B: the corner (of a room)
C: the shoreline (of the imaginary)
