What are our lives composed of and encompassed by? The solid matter of a tangible world or the ephemeral material of language and ideas? So, are words tools for decoding the fragile, fleeting world around us? “All we have is words, All we have is worlds” as the British artist Tim Etchells proclaims in neon signs that shed their light on the self-evident: we are our words, we are our worlds. An installation with neon letters on the outside of the Onassis Stegi building invites us to discover them.
