It Was Like Watching

Dear ____,

I happened to look for a while out of “my” window on the 17th floor Palliativstation of the Wiener Allgemeinen Krankenhauses last night, where an enormous orange moon was hanging about, consorting with a lick of dark cloud, near to the tiny gaggle of skyscrapers. I didn’t have much to say for myself and so it just sort of looked back at me.

Every day friends and well-wishers come here and as always I want to run to my room and read a book until they’ve left but for the first time in my life my room is also the room they want to visit, and so I can’t. I wrote down yesterday as best as I could the words of my last long conversation with Marina: there might be more, but the words are running away from her now, which only makes you realise how small and insignificant they are, fleeing from something (from someone) who remains exactly who they were even in their absence: like dust falling from the sun.

Screaming Hole: Poetry, Sound and Action as Intermedia Practice in the Work of Katalin Ladik
Published by acb ResearchLab, Budapest, 2017, 248 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 19.5 × 29.5 cm, English
Price: €45

Language is at the heart of Katalin Ladik’s practice. Her expansive attitude to poetry materializes on the pages of her books, in music scores, on the wall, through concrete poems, and visual collages, almost all of them accompanied by sonic interpretations that show the artist’s extraordinary vocal range.

All these works speak to Ladik’s process of “logopoiesis”: to bring into existence new registers of language through acts of poetry, utterance, and visualization. Or, to follow the title of her eponymous 1976-album, a process of “phonopoetica”, to understand poetry through the voice.
