Fig by Caroline Bergvall
Fig is the second installment of Goan Atom and continues its exploration of poetic practice registered through physical uptake. Delighting in the corporeal use of language, these pieces explore the surface tensions of our encounters with the processes of recognition. Each piece has previously been initiated as part of a performance work or collaborative installation and short prefatory notes reflect on these different writing practices.What I admire about Bergvall's work is its absolute originality, it's structural articulationsIn this sense, Bergvall offers an exciting direction for feminist poetics, moving as it does out of the speculative and reflective into the active and shapely, incorporating a performative element that complicates our understanding of meta-text.
