- Additional information
- ‘Reading (Story of) O and Ode (owed) to O’ is a multi-component research output comprising a book of experimental writing and an audio artwork released on CD. The audio artwork has been further disseminated in the form of text scores and performances.
In the book, ‘Reading (Story of) O’, Waeckerle’s research aims to make sense of erotic literature, as a woman and an artist, by bringing together the fascinating publishing history of ‘Story of O’, the erotic French novel first published (pseudonymously) in 1954, with a graphic reworking of the text in both English and French and instructions for durational public readings. ‘Ode (owed) to O’ continues this research through an audio work and related text scores. The various reading strategies applied to the original text and its meta history transform a piece of erotic literature into a series of conceptual writing works, text scores and then into experimental music.
The supporting portfolio includes evidence of the research aims, context and processes which led to new insights. It also includes images of the materials, readings and performances. It is accompanied by a PDF of the book and files of the audio work.
