In ‘Interest: The Joy and Sorrow of the Written Word”, little paper boats folded out of newspaper pages (different languages and sections/spheres of interest) float on the floor and create a sea of information. Short sound loops emanate from the boats with recordings of a pre-language: the cooing and crying of infants.
The origin of the word ‘interest” relates to the word ‘between” and alludes to the spaces between facts, various languages, and pre-languages and to un-named connections between these spheres.
The paper boats were reconfigured each week throughout the duration of the exhibition.
