The Babel Message by Keith Harris
A Love Letter to Language
Starting from the tiny multilingual warning leaflet found inside a chocolate-toy egg, this playful and insightful work uses that humble text as a portal into the world’s languages, exploring translation, dialects, invented tongues, and the politics of standardization. Blending reportage, linguistic experiments, and personal reflection, it celebrates the exuberant messiness of multilingual life while probing how language shapes identity, power, and human connection.
