Searle

»Review« 

SEArle” shows a coastal section and an embedded male person. The word ‘SEA’ is extended by the letters “RLE”, which are an acronym for a company providing development, technology and consulting services to the international mobility, service and wind industries. In this combination the pronunciation of ‘sea’ changes, and the ‘sea’ becomes the American philosopher of language and mind “John Searle”, one of the most important representatives of the Speech Acts theory.

The background is a slightly modified, freely available photograph, and the work is part of the ‘Playing around with Callantsoog waters’ series. The SEA series explores the theme of “SEA” on three levels: visual, written, and sound.
