A site-specific installation by artist Sława Harasymowicz that interrogated the tensions between images and words, The Spring to Come unravelled the story of an aspiring poet and his attempts to deal with the reality of war through imagination and language.
Using a range of media and translation tools to interpret and respond to private and public archival materials and The National Poetry Library collection, the installation harnessed diverse voices, modes and registers of speech to consider the image of language as it controls, meanders, and imagines.
An artist book, Published on the occasion of the year-long project by Slawa Harasymowicz (edited by Dominic Czechowski)– now in the National Poetry Library collection – was launched during the exhibition. It included new visual work by the artist, as well as texts by a range of academics contextualising the project.
