Word Plays — The Multiplicity of Language Games
Year: 2015
Miscellaneous objects
How can type, objects and spaces become actors, stages and narrators? What happens when ordinary word meanings are deconstructed, and recontextualised?
Elementary everyday objects are cast as actors, paying homage to Ludwig Wittgenstein’s thoughts on ‘the multiplicity of language-games’: ‘Making up a story and reading it,’ ‘Play-acting,’ and ‘Making a joke and telling it.’ These acts explore the translations of type, objects and spaces into new forms of meanings by disrupting the order of things, breaking the meaning, and turning things upside down.
