World of Languages: How Translation Shapes Our Reading and Culture
The special exhibition 'World of Languages. Translating Literature' at the Sulzbach-Rosenberg Literary Archive offers an intense artistic experience centered around the art of literary translation. It makes visible how an original creates a new text with its own timbre and how translations shape our perception of works and the atmosphere of exhibitions.
Poetics of Translation: Meaning, Sound, Rhythm
Precise curation guides through work processes between manuscript, editing, and publishing. Exhibits, documents, and audio stations illustrate how semantic nuances, metrics, and idioms become aesthetic decisions that change the form, tone, and spatial impact of language.
Archives of Contemporary Literature: Estates as Spaces of Knowledge
The exhibition includes significant collections of the house: estates and legacies of outstanding translators, as well as correspondence from literary practice since 1945. Thus, the exhibition intertwines art history of literature with cultural transfer and shows how archives promote research, mediation, and cultural education.
Bridges Between Languages: Culture and Market
Curatorial thematic areas inquire about which texts are translated, which markets decide, and how debates about translations unfold internationally. The result: a reflected, imagery-rich introduction to the artistic direction and practice of translation, situated between literary business, aesthetics, and public life.
Visitors' Voices
The reactions of the visitors are clear: World of Languages captivates art enthusiasts. A visitor writes on Facebook: 'Rarely experienced so impressively how translation transforms meaning and sound' – a plea for attentive reading and new perspectives.
Conclusion
Expect a dense, sensory experience: colors of typography, materiality of paper, the spatial impact of display cases, and sound traces make translation as an artistic practice tangible. Ideal for everyone who wants to discover language art, literary history, and aesthetic experience live.
