I am looking for images that give a sense of being "endangered". am thinking about creating a series of visual messages (photos, video, installation...) that evoke the "crisis of languages".
I am now seeing myself as a curator. What kind of artworks should I include in my exhibition? How do I arrange/design the space to give a totality for my project?
