_I have long been fascinated by a citational use of theatre’s conventions without enacting them.
I hold open my book with a slab of clay to copy a passage about the history of scaffolding.
Experimental translations make their scaffolding visible. To intentionally upset the truism of translational invisibility, the scaffold visualises a material process. This making-visible does not aim for a transparency of meaning. Experimental translations side with a certain cloudiness.
