INSTALLATION (LIMITS OF LANGUAGE)

I came across a box of letters from a movie marquee. They suddenly seemed unfamiliar to me. 

How strange that this is what we've come up with communicate to one another. These abstract symbols, these prints of drawings of sculptures of symbols.

I wondered: How much of a shape still registers as sound, as meaning?
