Dressler, Iris + Hans D. Christ (Eds.)
“The "On Translation" series, whose individual projects were developed both for the public space and for art institutions in various cities in Europe, the USA and Latin America, deals with the mechanisms and effects of "translation" under the conditions of globalisation. The problem of translation from one language into another plays an equally important role as the social, political or economic contexts of transfer, transmission or transformation. The series negotiates culture – in the broadest sense – as a permanent process of translation.

On Translation is a series of works exploring issues of transcription,
interpretation and translation.
From language to codes
From silence to technology
From subjectivity to objectivity
From agreement to wars
From private to public
From semiology to cryptography
The role of the translation/translators as a visible/ invisible fact.
