I See a Silence
Ilya Kaminsky
Ukrainian/American poet Ilya Kaminsky’s most recent work Deaf Republic was heralded as one of the most original books of 2019.
I See a Silence, his lyric work for Artangel, combines poetry and prose to form the centrepiece of a soundscape for walking the Ness, produced by acclaimed audio designer Axel Kacoutié with the voices of Neil Brennan, Ilya Kaminsky and Zakia Sewell.
Drawn to the singular ecology of the landscape and the flora and fauna that both preceded and survived decades of weapons research, Kaminsky’s ‘poetry of place’ uncannily evokes a landscape of the imagination. The journey begins at the Bomb Ballistics building, where a panoramic viewing platform looks out across the vast shingle stretching towards the sea.
Features dust jacket by Emma McNally.
