The Poetics of Fragility is a kaleidoscopic exploration of the texture, vitality and aesthetics of fragility. It interweaves stories of bodily frailty with optical vignettes of nature’s delicacy to reclaim fragility as intrinsic to existence, not something to be bemoaned or overcome. In this bilingual transmedia project we explore the specific possibilities offered by film, artist book and website in marking out the scope of our inquiry, experimenting with the distinctive potential of each. The Poetics of Fragility does not replicate a single work in several formats. Even as film, book and website draw from the same core material and each can stand alone, it is when they are conceived as a matrix that the project emerges in its multidimensionality
