The Modern Language Experiment: Imagining a Re-Synchronizing (The Phantom Twin)

The Modern Language Experiment’s Imagining a Re-Synchronizing (The Phantom Twin) follows a collection of unnamed characters through a series of imagined future urban landscapes whilst discussing and quoting two literary works, one real and one imagined. The work investigates the temporality of the imagination and its marked tendency to live possible alternative futures now.

The Modern Language Experiment recently exhibited work at Angus-Hughes Gallery, London, Garis and Hahn, New York, the Bermondsey Project, London and at the Sluice Art Fair, London. The Modern Language Experiment were formed in 2007 and are based in London.
