On Farniyaz Zaker's practice in the book "WORD: Beyond Language, Beyond Image" by Mariam Motamedi Fraser
January 5, 2024
The book explores the epistemological, experiential and political implications of words when lifted out of language and discursive meaning. Referring to reliable sources and research, Motamedi studies the function of word with different approaches and in different contexts. Centering this subject, she explores the language’s conceptual limitations, contradictions and its extensions with image.
Studying different linguistic approaches, Motamedi reviews works of art concerning this concept from various artists and she explores works by Farniyaz Zaker and a scene from "The Story of My Life" by Helen Adams Keller for demonstrating words textural.
