The sound installation ‘For, in your tongue, I cannot fit’ addresses the violence of censorship through a symphony of recorded voices which speak or sing the verses of 100 poets imprisoned for their writings or political positions from the 7th century to the present day. On entering the dimly-lit space visitors encounter 100 microphones suspended over 100 metal rods, each piercing a verse of poetry. Over the course of an hour, each microphone in turn recites a fragment of the poets’ words, spoken first by a single voice then echoed by a chorus which shifts across the space. The poets’ words emerge from microphones, fitted with speakers – a device Gupta has adopted in earlier works to remind us that the microphone is not simply something to speak into, but a means to broadcast at a large scale. Here the microphones literally and symbolically give a voice to those whom regimes from around the world have sought to silence. The idea of creating an archive of 100 emblematic instances is an approach the artist has adopted in previous works.
