Ox and Mandarin | Wayfaring Strangers by Milla van der Have is a surreal poetry collection that journeys through the imaginative landscapes of its titular characters, Ox and Mandarin. These figures navigate the complexities of identity, the fluidity of reality, and the multifaceted nature of truth, offering readers a profound exploration of the boundaries between perception and existence.
Ox and Mandarin | Experienced transforms the collection into immersive multimedia experiences. Videopoems layer text, sound, and imagery to evoke the surreal worlds of the poems. This sensory journey redefines the boundaries of poetic expression, inviting audiences to engage with poetry in dynamic and unconventional ways.
The project is part of the subtheme Re-imagining identity through poetry.
