About the Installation “ The Arrival” by Ernst Koslitsch

The Book (Movie) “Arrival" is based on the science fiction short story "Story of Your Life" by Ted Chiang.

The book, which was published in 1998, is highly regarded for its unique and thought-provoking exploration of linguistics, time, and communication.

What makes the book special is its intellectual depth and philosophical themes.

Chiang delves into the concept of language and its influence on our perception of reality. The story examines how language shapes our understanding of the world and how it can even alter our perception of time.

Chiang explores the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which suggests that language determines the way we think. Additionally, the story's narrative structure is unconventional and compelling.

It intertwines two timelines, one following the protagonist's personal life and the other focusing on her professional work in deciphering the alien language.

This dual narrative adds layers of complexity to the story and allows the reader to engage with both the emotional journey of the protagonist and the intellectual puzzles she faces.
