Translation Without Original
By Jo Phillips
Translation functions not only as a process but also as a condition of existence. Numerous cultural, historical, and personal references now lack identifiable origins or have lost their sources. What persists are attempts to interpret, reconstruct, and retell these references. Copies are produced by retelling stories and recreating images. Translation Without Original demonstrates this dynamic through representations of the human figure. Here, meaning remains in constant flux. *AI · 2026*
