The Lake is pleased to present Works for Radio, where five artists and artist groups have created five new sound works for the radio.

This year's edition of Work for Radio revolves around the theme "Untranslatable": A translation is the rendering of a text from one language to another, or a change in substance, form, or medium. In the process, something new emerges, and something else disappears. When an image is described, it becomes words; when words are spoken into a microphone, they become electricity; when electricity is sent through a speaker, it becomes sound. Translation is transformation—a shift in material, context, or form. Despite the intention to stay as close to the original as possible, we always end up somewhere else.

Works for Radio 2024 is supported by Koda's Cultural Funds.
