I constantly find myself working with language-related texts as I consider almost every piece that contains the word “language” interesting. However, navigating in a standardized world, where communication usually takes place using a grammar-adapted common language, can in some cases just be not enough. Also, being aware that verbal language is not my strongest side, I turned to the rich history of language consumption. My aim was to find connections in philosophy of existing linguists and poetic visual symbols. By looking into thic topic I turned to American author Kathy Acker as well as to the history of birthmarks. This is how the publication that unites these topics and images was born.
