Ana Torfs lives and works in Brussels. Since the 1990s, she has been working on the themes of representation and narrative structures. In spatial installations that use slides, sound, texts, prints, sculptures, xerography, videos, photos or textiles, Torfs expresses the fraught relationship between texts and images and the complicated processes of visualising, interpreting, perceiving, manipulating and translating they entail.

Text at the bottom of the tapestry reads "out verbs and participles, because, in reality, all things imaginable are but nouns. The other project was, a scheme for entirely abolishing all words whatsoever, […] "since words are only names for things, it would be more convenient for all men to carry about them such things as were necessary".](https://kanal.b-cdn.net/sites/default/files/skinsoft/64df6d8f19e12f37cdceb1d1.jpg?width=500)
