a| I couldn’t escape your words, turned page after page until closing the book. Like a rock DICTEE laid there. I could not find an entrance into the thicket of your words until the airplane became my reading room, an echo chamber for your words I couldn’t escape. Since the echo began it has not fallen silent. I continue to walk the corners of your dictate, to visit its expanses, to try to reach its horizons and announced times. I follow the nine paths you are offering: leading from the dark, deserted place of trauma and exile to the lit place of a welcoming home, giving voice to the neglected, layered, colonized and gendered experience. One of the hundred thousand readings of your avenues into memory is manifest here as tribute, to be reread, retold and reheard again in order to not repeat history in oblivion. Silent Sisters, Stille Schwestern is an edition that brings the unauthorized German translation of Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's book DICTEE (Tanam Press, 1982), side by side with the 1982 and 1995 printings of DICTEE. Cha was an artist born 1951 in Busan during the Korean War. Her family left Korea for Hawaii in 1963 and settled a year later in San Francisco. Shortly after DICTEE was published in November of 1982 Theresa Hak Kyung Cha was raped and murdered in New York. Since 1992 the Theresa Hak Kyung Cha Archive has been held by the Berkeley Art Museum Pacific Film Archive.
