Coral Dictionary

Coral Dictionary is a project initiated during a residency Offshore at Dinawan Island, Malaysia.

Including 216 words that Chang Yuchen has translated with fragments of coral bodies, Coral Dictionary Vol.1: 2019-2022 is a tool book customly designed for one person’s need in her ongoing endeavor of making a language. Published by Gong Press in two versions: paperback (open edition) and accordion (signed and numbered edition of 30), and both include an exquisite introduction by Alvin Li, where he wrote: “Coral Dictionary is a poetic investigation into the nature of language and the language of nature.”
