Gedicht – Poem – Poème / Change – Exchange – Wechsel (V. 16)

This work by Belgian conceptual artist Marcel Broodthaers presents the same text in three languages (Dutch, English, and French), reflecting his interest in linguistic ambiguity and the relationship between words and meaning. The piece exemplifies Broodthaers' engagement with language as a primary artistic material, where the repetition of terms relating to textual and economic exchange becomes a meditation on translation and value. As a numbered edition produced by the influential Edition Staeck publishing house, it demonstrates the artist's commitment to making conceptual work accessible through reproducible formats rather than unique objects.
