biography
Maria Paris’ practice translates silence across multiple media,
revealing the elasticity and permeability of language. Often through installations, her work raises questions on how poetics can be a radical political tool. Concepts of absence and removal are entangled in various forms, reflecting on the emotional and political
nature of places and language. Currently, her practice is focused on displacement
and translation as material spaces for identity and poetics. a measure of distance
a
measure of distance is a composition of a space that reflects on what is untranslatable, what falls in-between.
Reflecting on the emotional and political charge of language, the installation evokes acts of displacement as areas of meaning. By allowing space for slip-ups and inevitable misunderstandings, elements and space become translated surfaces. SHARE
