Tractatus in Motion is a curious effort to build a bridge between text and image, or a proposition and representation. It consists of different segments from Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, written by Ludwig Wittgenstein, published in 1921. Each segment is accompanied by a set of moving images that act as a visual representation/translation of the selected text.
It poses the simple question of what it means to translate a written text into a visual format, or how one can effectively employ pictures to communicate the meaning of a source-language text to a set of moving images as an equivalent form. Tractatus in Motion was exhibited at Bergen Kunsthall from April 19th to May 3rd, 2024.
