Overview

In this short from James Knight, a collection of Paul Celan's poetry is subjected to an electrical atomisation. Its words are severed from their material form. Knight composes through decomposition, pages disintegrate and reintegrate, and all the while the traces of their words remain fixed.

“I love poetry because it makes me feel like my mind expands.” In Regard Silence, that's the very first sentence expressed—in sign language of course. Watching the poems signed by deaf people in this film has a similarly mind-expanding effect. That’s because sign language—the Mexican version in this case—is a very different means of communication than written or spoken language.

Burning Batteries

Feb 17, 2023

In the tradition of experimental genres such as the cut-up, collage, permutation, altered book, & erasure poem, ‘Burning Batteries’ dissects the idea of the book in both a literal & philosophical way. Books are usually thought of as 2D, static, fixed pieces of historically relevant narratives – ReVerse Butcher wants you to (re)think books as contested spaces for possible intervention, creative agency, & rebellion. She sees books as multi-layered places where multiple meanings hide behind the illusion of being locked-in by consensus reality.
