Christian Hawkey: VENTRAKL

Essay	Project Description	Christian Hawkey
Add Project to My Artbox

VENTRAKL is a book that folds poetry, prose, biography, and visual media into an experimental translation of 19th century German Expressionist poet George Trakl. After drafting associative “translations” of several Trakl poems–with only the source language’s sound and graphic representation as a guide–he uses this material to generate poems and interview-poems (conducted with Trakl himself). The book includes, and draws connections between, images from Trakl’s life, pre-industrial German landscapes, and Hawkey’s own contemporary urban environment, as well as texts that meditate on the act of translation itself (what is shaped in the migration between languages, images, cultures, and time-periods).
