'Read me a poem, Yi Sang!' - call for contributions

AMP's picture

"READ ME A POEM, YI SANG!" is an installation that is part of an exhibition and series of events in Paris and Seoul by a group of Korean and French artists inspired by the work of the enigmatic Korean poet Yi Sang ( 1910-1937, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yi_Sang )

In a small transparent suitcase there is an audio cassette, which contains a copy of a one hour sound composition based on my reading of French and English translations of Yi Sang's poems.

You are invited to send by email a photo (or image, drawing...) you made or some words that you wrote during/after your visit of the exhibition (or otherwise 'inspired' by Yi Sang) to readmeapoemyisang@gmail.com

At the end of the Yi Sang project, in september/october 2010, if there have been N contributions, you will receive by email 3600/N seconds of the sound piece as an mp3 file.

Thus being - literally - cut up, the original sound file disappears.

Each of the N contributions that were sent by email points to one of its N, randomly distributed, parts. Together these form an image of the piece that no longer exists, like a translation. This translation will live on as a web page, at http://yisang.soundblog.net
