Poetry installations: Natures fragility
Poetry is the intersection of words and form. This encounter usually happens in a two-dimensional space, such as how the poem is laid out on a book page. However, in today's world, fewer people read poetry books. Instead, poetry is thriving in social spaces like social media, music lyrics, and different visual expressions in public. This poetry installation project aims to present poems in a three-dimensional format, allowing the reader to experience them in a dynamic and temporal way. By moving through the space, the recipient becomes a co-creator of the poem, entering the world of poetry with their entire being.
The materiality of the poetry installations is an integral part of the physical experience and enhances the poem´s theme of taking care of nature. The combination of handmade and digitally developed elements may create a sense of tension. Using modern audio technology to create 3-dimensial soundscapes will also constitute an important factor in enhancing the bodily experience of the poems. Finally, presenting poems as speculative objects allows us to challenge the dichotomies that we use to interpret our experiences. It raises questions about the distinctions between subject and object and how the mind and body interact.
