The collage Language Will Never Quite Connect You To The World (2008) inhabits in a hardly visible fashion the section of a wall. It is made of letters cut out from different newspapers of a given day, more exactly: from some selected newspaper articles. The selection of articles is fully authorized by the interpreter (who can be, but is not necessarily the artist and) who spends one day with the task. The letters form the sentence whose meaning oscillates between a disillusioned avowal and a plea for action.
