Eduardo Kac. Recent Works: Lagoglyphs and Natural History of Enigma
In this exhibition at Compostela I present works from two recent series.
The "Lagoglyphs" are an ongoing series of works in which I develop a rabbitographic form of writing. As visual language that alludes to meaning but resists interpretation, the Lagoglyphs series stands as the counterpoint to the barrage of discourses generated through, with, and around my 2000 artwork “GFP Bunny” (a real, living, green-glowing bunny, called Alba).
The pictograms that make up the Lagoglyphs are visual symbols representing Alba rather than the sounds or phonemes of words. The Lagoglyphs function through a repertoire of gestures, textures, forms, juxtapositions, superpositions, opacities, transparencies, and ligatures. These coalesce into a polyvalent script structured through visual compositional units that
multiply rather than circumscribe meanings.
