IMAGENS (IN)TRADUZÃVEIS: A REPRESENTAÇÃO COMO UM CAMINHO PARA REFLEXÃO TEÓRICA NO CAMPO DO DESIGN CONTEMPORÂNEO

Abstract

Some artists performed a plural experiment of translation from text into visual art (book’s illustration). Considering the ancient competition between the verbal and the pictorial as the superior way of telling the ‘truth’, and the dialectic of word and image as an implicit form of Platonism, we did not call Arlindo Daibert’s work as illustration but as ‘translation’.
