RELATED WORKS

Love Letters

Slavs and Tatars
Love Letters

Love Let­ters series of car­pets address the issue of manipulation of alphabets across Arabic, Latin and Cyril­lic, through the Rus­sian Revolution’s most well-​known, if con­flic­ted, poet-​champion, Vladimir Mayakovsky.

Tongue Twist Her

Slavs and Tatars
Tongue Twist Her

The pole exchan­ges its topless dancer for something no less racy: a giant, fleshy tongue twir­ling around and down the pole, a nod to the 60 odd years of chan­ges in parts of the former-​Soviet, Tur­kophone world from Arabic to Latin to Cyril­lic back to Latin.

Swinging Septum

Slavs and Tatars
Swinging Septum

Long eclip­sed by the mouth, as source of libidinal lin­guistics, Swin­ging Septum restores the nose as an equally discur­sive and desirous organ of lan­guage. A flat sil­houette nose sways from left to right, evocative of the facial acrobatics the septum must per­form to reach the sonorous heights of /ɛ/ or /ɔ̃/.

Bandari String Fingerling

Slavs and Tatars
Bandari String Fingerling

The daily taming of hair is an act of civilization, bat­tling the unruliness of the body. In this sense the rituals of daily existence, such as com­bing one’s hair, echo as objects the coun­sel of the Mir­rors for Prin­ces genre.
