A Poem Floats
by Pascalle Burton
How much can you say using only thirteen words? What if you could animate those thirteen words across 793 frames? Contributing to the long tradition of works that blur the boundary between literary and visual art, the words that make up A Poem Floats do not move at random, but in patterns, combining and recombining.
Pascalle Burton’s poem-in-a-gif-file takes time to fully realise its texts and requires active engagement from the reader to make meaning from its playful approach to language. In its coiling and uncoiling spirals, A Poem Floats piece makes reference to 2005 work deadsee by Israeli artist Sigalit Landau, a work that suspended a spiral raft of watermelons in the Dead Sea.
It packs a lot into those thirteen words.
