Going the distance: The expressive multiplicity of poetry
Poetry Expo 23
The collaboration between three artists essentially builds up on Tom Veber’s poems; it resulted in a short experimental stop-motion film interpreting one of his poems and a sound installation which includes readings of the author’s poems in different languages. The artists challenged themselves to showcase the multiplicity of various possible approaches to interpreting poetry.
