Hybrid Border Crossing
Abstract
In her PhD thesis, Anneka Metzger examines Barbara Köhler's text installations as an example of current experimental intermedial art forms. Based on the hypothesis that lyric as a genre would be predestined to allow border crossings between different forms of art, Metzger focuses on reflexive aspects of experimental poetry. She concentrates on the 'linguistic spaces' of Barbara Köhler to analyse poetic concept as well as practical installation. Köhler's work, which in some cases escapes the exclusive sphere of the linguistic and leaps into the social and situative space, is described under the concept of 'performative poetry.' Metzger finds adequate possibilities of categorization for different text-space images and compares them with current aesthetic discussions.
