Yes, but only if you make talking art. Otherwise, you have to speak (or write) for it– contextualize it– so that viewers can better understand and appreciate what you’re doing. It’s like the difference between watching a play with actors dressed in street clothes on a stage with no set, and then watching the same play with actors in full costume and the stage completely set. The script is identical in both cases, but your depth of understanding and immersion in the experience is far greater with one than the other.
