A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Mouths At The Invisible Event is a catalogue published on the occasion of an exhibition of the same title by British artist David Birkin which took place at The Mosaic Rooms in 2015. Birkin s multimedia work centres around censorship, spectatorship and the legal and linguistic frameworks underpinning war. Reflecting on not only the failure of images, but also the failure of truth and the manipulation of legislative language to suit political expediency. Designed to emulate the appearance of a classified document, the book features in depth essays by Emily Apter (a writer on critical theory, the politics of translation and contemporary art) and the artist examining the contrived ambiguity of political and military rhetoric. The catalogue is richly illustrated with colour images of Birkin s latest work providing a multi-layered contemporary commentary on language, aesthetics and the ethos of modern warfare.
