Un|word, the
inappropriate word
The Brothers Grimm's German dictionary already lists unword as an "evil, offensive, hurtful, reprehensible" word. According to this, an unword is inappropriate in its meaning.
This essentially describes what the jury for the unword of the
year also understands by this. Unwords do not exist in themselves. "The meaning of a word
is its use in language." (Ludwig Wittgenstein) Linguistic expressions become
unwords because they are used by speakers either thoughtlessly or with
intentions worthy of criticism. Criticism of the use of unwords
aims to raise awareness of discriminatory, misleading or inhumane
ways of speaking.
For almost two decades, exhibitions have been held on the Unword of the Year. For the nine
photographers, the task this time was once again to translate the unword into imaginative photographic visualizations
. On the initiative of Prof.
Dr. David Römer and invited by the Brückner-Kühner Foundation, the large-format light boxes can now be seen for the first time in Kassel at
Palais Bellevue. A supporting program and guided tours by the artists
accompany the exhibition.
