"Is a non-remote horizon always a concealment? If a portion of sky has been carved and set loose to rest upon land, is it the result of an illegal language spoken in the town?" Ben Marcus, from A Horizon Grammar A hybrid of artist's book and catalog, this unique publication, designed in collaboration with the artist, is divided into three separate books. One features photographs of Sky-wreck, Mirra's conceptually multi-layered, 2001 installation at the Renaissance Society, accompanied by an essay from Hamza Walker which explicates Sky-wreck'stangled mathematical, visual and poetic aspects, and how these interwoven forms of signification within the piece ultimately "question the ability for that which is unfathomable to assume representation." Another section contains reproductions of Mirra's earlier work, meditated on from a more personal standpoint by poet and friend of Mirra, Jen Bervin, with footnotes from Mirra herself. The third section is an intensely beautiful collaboration between Mirra and experimental fiction writer Ben Marcus, juxtaposing Mirra's exquisite working drawings for Sky-wreck with Marcus's surreal poetic response to them entitled A Horizon Grammar.

Poetry. A book in which crystalline phrases collide with each word's desperate integrity. Reminiscent, perhaps, of the work of Robert Grenier, this is a work of density as well as spareness. "the irregular migrant surveys what needs are left".

"Pour sa 17e édition, intitulée Quand la nature ressent, MOMENTA Biennale de l'image nous presse humblement de considérer la justice environnementale et ses croisements avec la justice sociale en tant que manière de sentir et de ressentir, mais aussi d'analyser et de militer. Les artistes et les auteur·e·s nous incitent à nouer des affinités intimes avec des vies et des mondes non humains. Elles, iels, ils nous proposent d'écouter--d'observer, de sentir, de toucher--le territoire, l'eau et l'air, de leur adresser la parole, non pas pour les interpréter à distance ni pour nous en emparer ou les exploiter, mais avec l'intention de leur faire écho, de vibrer et de communier avec eux. Ou peut-être, sans objectif du tout. Leurs œuvres et leurs écrits font place à des récits qui habitent les frontières estompées entre technologies et sagesses ancestrales, entrelaçant des formes de savoir humaines et non humaines. Elles, iels, ils célèbrent nos relations avec la nature, le fait que nous sommes cette nature."-- publisher's description.
