Context,
Homonym, and Polyseme live in a house laden with memories, but Etymology keeps
coming with deliveries for Context: a blank book, a doll, a grocery list inked
on the back of a loan statement, a conversation with the dentist, a key.
Homonym and Polyseme receive the packages. They sort and rearrange; they send
what they can to the cloud (via helium balloon); and occasionally they smuggle
out old things, lost for years, and new things they know Context will never
need. Meanwhile, Context drinks hot water with no tea, plays opera, and tries
to figure out if listening is work--if it is labor, if it matters, and if what
matters (if it matters) can be retrieved from the ever-accumulating material of
living. Meronymy is a kinesthetic, kaleidoscopic, audiovisual
performance-portrait of the technologies ancient and modern by which we cling
to what we'd otherwise forget. With wry tenderness and formal dexterity,
Jendrzejewski builds a space in which to reckon with loss, overflow, and
intrusion as integral to the chaotic, cacophonic practice of living in language
together.
