A meditative reflection on language and its loss. How does one language inherit another? Defeat, erase or live through another? ‘How to speak dead’ is Lebanese artist and writer Walid Sadek’s examination of language, dead or victorious. At heart, beyond defeat and victory, it is a reflection on how one can approach a speaking that is of neither a living language nor a dead one. A speaking that knows loss and knows it is woven into every uttered word, every spoken sentence. A loss that becomes syntax.
