Description
The artist’s book is a product of research in language and words. Comparing different alphabets, taking the Italian alphabet as reference, the artist created a short illustrated collection of letters and words in different languages. The languages included in the book are those spoken by the people personally connected to the artist. The book intends to show the limits of one data language and simultaneously reveals the similarities of distant languages.Il libro d’artista è il prodotto della ricerca di Rebecca Agnes sul linguaggio e sulla parola. Confrontando diversi alfabeti, e tenendo come riferimento l’alfabeto italiano, ha creato una breve raccolta illustrata di lettere e parole in lingue differenti. Le lingue incluse nel libro sono quelle parlata dalle persone che conosce l’artista. Il libro vuole mostrare da un lato i limiti di visione dati da un’unica lingua e contemporaneamente fa emergere le somiglianze di lingue distanti fra loro.
