AKINCI is proud to present the solo exhibition STILL LIFE BABEL by Imogen Stidworthy (1963, London). Her sculptural installations and films are shaped by verbal and non-verbal forms of voicing, happening through sound, body, spatial and temporal relationships. Through being with, listening, participating in and sometimes staging situations with others, she traces different registers of communication between the individual and the many, self and others.
“My work grapples with the impossibility of glimpsing language from the outside. What happens to language and sense-making in encounters with unfamiliar or unknowable forms of voicing? What different forms of relationship and understanding emerge between languages?” Stidworthy presents a new body of work including the installation STILL LIFE BABEL (2025), bronze casts of reeds and digital photographs of straw, with Iris [A Fragement] (2018), shown in The Netherlands for the first time.
