0:32 - 0:34Мне хотелось бы владеть
большим количеством языков, -
0:34 - 0:37потому что я считаю, что каждый язык -
это окно, -
0:37 - 0:39новое окно.
-
0:43 - 0:47Иногда я сожалею,
что я не знаю больше языков. -
0:47 - 0:51Мне бы очень хотелось,
чтобы для меня открылось больше окон. -
1:00 - 1:06Иногда я называю свои работы
на своём языке, Эве. -
1:06 - 1:12В моём языке существует несколько
многозначных слов. -
1:14 - 1:17Если тональность слегка именить,
слово "Гли" -
1:17 - 1:20может значить так много разных вещей.

Episode #165: Filmed in 2011 at The Museum of Modern Art in Hayama, Japan, El Anatsui discusses the role of language and symbols in his artwork. When naming works such as "Gli" (2010), Anatsui often uses his native language of Ewe because Ewe words can have a range of meanings when pronounced differently. Anatsui also describes the formative experience of discovering adinkra symbols, a West African system of abstract symbols that represent specific concepts or aphorisms.
Working with wood, clay, metal, and the discarded metal caps of liquor bottles, El Anatsui breaks with sculpture's traditional adherence to forms of fixed shape while visually referencing the history of abstraction in African and European art. Anatsui's works trace a broader story of colonial and postcolonial economic and cultural exchange, told in the history of cast-off materials, while exploring ideas about the everyday function of objects and the role of language in deciphering visual symbols.
