The Worm

Desorientación is the last in the series of prints realised by Peacock alongside the current exhibition Dark nights, bright stars. Taken from a 1990 drawing by Miguel Benlloch titled La rosa de los vientos sin norte ('the compass rose without the North'), the print plays with a never-ending word that leads back where it started. Language, as a way to navigate the world, offers few certainties – like a rose of the winds without the North.As part of the event, one of our new members of staff, Assistant Curator Enxhi Mandija, will host a brief talk informed by the print, reflecting on languages meeting, (dis)orientation, and unruly translation.
