Tues Jan 25th, 5.15pm, University of Leeds
Speaker: Paul Wilson
Paul's work explores points of intersection: of language and landscape, community and communication. He is interested in the notion of 'typographies of place', where environment is (re)processed through writing and where place can be 'concretised' into potentially meaningful symbols as forms of writing. In this sense, linguistic narrative becomes a means through which seemingly disordered everyday experiences might be organised. Landscape, therefore, becomes a substrate and a surface with potential to record and be recorded: a space where forms of ‘writing-out’ and ‘writing-on’ can occur. The research takes a number of forms and combines a variety of media: text, sound, still and moving image.
