Xpo Wordz is a declaration of love for words. Following on from the author’s previous works and studies, Xpo Wordz is a graphic exercise on words and languages. It uses orality, writing, humor and the interference of other language and technology codes as work tools. The word appears here not only as an instrument of communication, but as a symbol of reality.

It is an in situ work, in that it dialogues with the spirit and dynamics of the place and with the author’s experiences in this ‘community’, in the period before the pandemic, during the pandemic and up to the present.

To my friend Corôas

“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, 1922
“I enjoy speaking. Or rather, I enjoy wording. Words for me are tangible bodies, visible sirens, incarnate sensualities.”
Fernando Pessoa, Book of Disquiet, by Bernardo Soares
