Lost in Google Translation: the Heterotopia within which we meet
This video was made for MANE at CSM during the academic year 2015-2016. Albert Camus said “The only way to get to know someone is through the affect that his/her actions have on you”. This video is actually a meta-language describing the whole process of my meeting with Chang, with the theoretical support of Wittgenstein concerning linguistic issues. It's my effort to approach her through the very core of my discipline (and my whole creativity), the space. The additional mediator in order to achieve that was Google translator which is inadequate and misleading. In this way I surrended in this way to the given fact that some things are meant to be lost in translation. The song played in the video is Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop", played instrumental.
