Proximity of Syllables (26 images)
Using disparate material and techniques in her installations, Migiwa Orimo focuses on words/texts that are hidden, erased, redacted, or invisible from public view. She has compiled various lists and texts that purport to communicate as they disappear in their indecipherable language. Proximity of Syllables will revisit a number of Orimo’s earlier works re-contextualized in a new series of installations accentuated by engraved punctuation marks that penetrate the walls.
