Research: Visual Poetry

Although there are interdisciplinary practices in contemporary poetry, they have, in my view, not yet arrived at the synthesis necessary in the artistic consciousness to bring them into a self-confident formal expression; they somehow do not progress and solidify poetry's status as an unquestionable intermediary form. But what are the reasons for that not happening?

In the coming months I'll be researching this question and produce a series of interrelating visual poems. The presentational forms for these poems will vary from becoming booklets, collages, video- or audioproductions or combinations thereof.
