“AUDIO IBRIDA” (it) (en: “Hybrid Radio”) 25 site-specific works for 14 hybrid cultural spaces, Milan, Italy 2022 My contribution for AUDIO IBRIDA audio guides by ZONA K in Milan, Italy (October–December 2022) involved researching and creating 25 site-specific works for 14 hybrid cultural spaces. Over an intense week, I visited these spaces, gathering insights to develop conceptual, language-based artworks reflecting their essence. Using my signature methods—CDoupbles and syllaBLEndings—I deconstructed words to reveal hidden meanings and poetic connections. The project challenged me to work in Italian, step beyond my usual techniques, and adapt to diverse cultural contexts. The experience deepened my artistic practice, reinforcing my belief in the power of words to shape perception and space. More insights on the process in my narrative for IN SITU/ (UN)Common Spaces. |

MISSION
The
“Museum of Hidden Words” is an ongoing art and research project
by artist Veronika Tzekova (veroniKATZEkova), dedicated to the visual
perception of language and the development of a distinctive artistic
approach to language.
At its heart are “CDoupbles” –
artworks based on a linguistic phenomenon in which words accidentally
contain other words, without any etymological connection between
them.
The resulting artworks make hidden linguistic
relationships visible and invite us to experience language as a
treasure trove of miniature scenarios and spaces of meaning.
FOCUS
AREAS
One of the museum's main focuses is the ongoing research, collection, archiving and categorisation of “CDoupbles”, particularly those that open up intriguing, surprising or ambiguous scenarios.
The second focus is the artistic interpretation of “CDoupbles”, as well as the production, collection and presentation of the artworks that emerge from them.#
PUBLIC PRESENCE
The museum features a permanent information display introducing its mission and focus areas, as well as the concept and development of CDoupbles. Its six sections explore the linguistic phenomenon, the visual perception of language, associative thinking, the variety of artistic forms, the languages and themes explored, and the project's development and history.
A screen runs a 24/7 slideshow featuring a selection of works from the museum's collection.
Two dynamic features – CDoupble Spotlight and Tongue-in-Cheek – keep the museum in motion. They regularly showcase selected pieces from the collection, fresh inspiration and newly created works.

| My Blog challengedgames.blogspot.co.at The CHAlleNGED GAMES blog was conceived with the hope to stimulate divergence thinking and challenge the viewer to rethink one's routines and shift his/her perspective on the status quo. The blog was initially dedicated to the CHAlleNGED GAMES series and seeks for extended meaning in playing and its relation to aspects of human existence and production. As with the time I started to experiment with another system - the language, to apply mathematical logic and seek patterns in words, in the last years my publications are mostly about this part of my work. |  |
