It is joyful, unpredictable, playful, defiant, energetic, full of humor and free of stipulations and prior expectations. Vigodsky doesn’t write in any of the excepted styles of Hebrew poetry of the ages , be it the angry– political, the dense–intellectual, the touching–religious or the thoughtfully designed, but in a style that she very much constructed for herself, a style that can be called material . and maybe: malleable.
For her, words are material, and she thinks about them as a painter, sculptor, constellation or video artist think about their material: as something that to make art out of, you need to stir, spread, spill, fling, stretch, knead, cut, melt, squeeze, photograph, document, bounce, make it dance, stimulate, to stack, build a tower out of, bury in the ground , see how it reacts to music, to light, to dark, to electricity, to fire – until the song is made.
