Napetosti med jezikovnim in slikovnim omogočajo eksperimentiranje z literarnim in likovnim umetniškim izrazom. Dela na razstavi različnih žanrov (ilustracija, risba, stenska slika, tipografija, video, animacija, instalacija, elektronska knjiga, spletna umetnost) vzpostavljajo drugačne pristope k podobi in črki – tudi zato, da se v današnjem času tehnokratske rabe jezika spodbuja kritično »branje« likovnega ter “gledanje” literarnega in pripovednega.

_

Between language and image, there is neither contradiction nor analogy. That is to say, there is no direct relation between them, there is only ambiguity, e.g. obscurity being expressed, hinting at the inability to express a direct translation between the two. Any translation would only discuss another matter, one that the language or the image wish to represent; it would address the numerous levels of social phenomena that are mainly expressed as absurd, nonsensical, humorous, playful, bitter, gruesome or romantic witticisms about life.
