GOLONU: If meaning is left undefined, what is the role of the reader or viewer? BACKSTROM: I am interested in the way language addresses us physically. How do we make sense of it as voting consumers? Our associative capacities are constantly exploited in order for purchases to take place. These semantic graveyards can be activated anytime. Instead of that detached smooth feeling, through an irrational or absurdist approach to language, uncomfortable laughter may land in the body and foreground the activity of interpretation.
