In "Absurdist Landscape," a traveling installation, Sam Heydt navigates the intricate tension between language and meaning through augmented reality. This work reimagines abstract idioms as 3D models that seamlessly overlay the landscape, prompting a critical reevaluation of linguistic constructs. Each virtual model acts as both monument and autopsy, laying bare the absurdity of our idiomatic heritage. When "it's raining cats and dogs" transforms into a literal deluge, the semiotic gap dissolves, exposing the underlying violence of metaphor.  This installation encourages viewers to question what appears deceptively simple, revealing the labyrinthine complexities of idiomatic expressions. Rather than merely critiquing language, Heydt allows it to manifest, highlighting the collapse of conventional interpretation and the absurdity inherent in human expression. In this surreal landscape, audiences are invited to confront the limitations of language and the cultural narratives it endlessly reproduces.
