\u2018It is a project in the making: a speculative editorial and readable object, spanning several media and prone to unfold into the space. Such improvised variations relate to the musicality and rhythm inherent to storytelling \u2013 in general, and to the Greenlandic language \u2013 in particular. Mirroring expression, driftongue is punctuated by repetition, fermata and intervals, figments, associative principles, authenticity and imprecision.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n
