Lantern of Subjectivity: Translation in the Void

Page 1

日本語

English

translating...

Translators are subservient. The role of a translator is to act as a mediator between two parties. Translation requires honesty and trust; therefore, outputs from the translator are implied as impartial and objective.

I am a machine, seen with no emotion. A piece of one’s puzzle.

The Lantern of Subjectivity sheds light on the profession of the translator and the history of translation in cultural exchange. The architectural device of the void – one light and one dark - creates two juxtaposed atmospheric conditions.

A mediator between two cultural codes. Let me show you my suppressed emotions; The subjective truth behind my craft.

The building provides transparency in the act of translation, with the intent of leaving the visitors with an understanding of their subjective stance on information communicated to them – regardless of their sources.
