The Alphabet (Uyghur kril yéziqi) revisits Marcel Broodthaers’ Poèmes industriels, replacing the Latin alphabet with a Cyrillic one, one of three alphabets used for Uyghur in the 20th century.

Belonging to the Tranny Tease work series (2009-ongoing), the artwork examines alphabet politics and mistranslations by employing the 'wrong' or inappropriate script for a given text.
