The recordings on the single phonopoetica by the Serbian artist Katalin Ladik are phonetic
interpretations of works of visual poetry by Gerrit Jan De Rook, Giovanna Sandri, Gárbor Tóth and Ladik herself. Ladik thus implements the analytical decomposition of writing into speech and sound to analyse language and break it down into its components at this specific level. To do this, she uses the support of recording and sampling techniques, including instrumental music and electronic speech distortion.
